Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Monday, December 10th would have been the 86th birthday of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh (12/10/1926 – 10/10/2008), the late and beloved Master of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order, may God sanctify his secret. In his memory, this poem is dedicated.
Love is the answer
to every question
An ocean emerging
from a drop
This you taught us by your
every action, every word,
The revealed science
of the heart, the key
to the door of the spirit
that is never locked
To serve the One,
serve all, you said,
Eat but a little,
Feed the soul instead
As long as life
remains, and then
The drop returns
to the Ocean again,
Of Love, of Love, of Love
Ya Pir! Ya Hayy! Ya Haqq!
