For to år siden var nogen så betænksomme og kærlige at forære mig en CD med fortolkninger af Rumis kærlighedsdigte. Jeg har hørt dem lige siden, især når jeg laver yoga hjemme på stuegulvet. I dag er det så tid til at høre dem igen!
En af mine favoritter er denne her, som min yndlingsskuespiller Demi Moore i øvrigt medvirker på.
Do You Love Me?
A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?
The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
than you love me?
The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.
I’ve disappeared from myself
I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.
I have forgotten all my learning,
I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.
I have lost all my strength,
I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.
If I love myself
If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself
