A seeker would naturally see the shell when he comes seeking the pearl. The same applies to pilgrim of love in the quest for love of Meem.
I came by the river;
Why not pass by the canoe?
I came for the pearl;
Why not feel the shell?
I came for the rose;
Why not listen to the nightingale?
I came for the Green Dome;
Why not visit the Black Square too?
I swear upon
The beloved Meem,
Nothing in this world
Is to me as near.
O Most Forgiving,
Overlook my shortcomings;
When love dominates,
My sanity annihilates.

MashaAllah!!
The love for the divine, the madness, the never ending spiritual quest, truly annihilates sanity. The love of Almighty & the bond we form with him, creates the foundation for all other bonds we form with his creations in our lifetime. Like Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi says, “All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!”
The beauty that arises out of these words is ethereal. The humble submission to Almighty & our Rasool justifies the need of our existence.
