To believers (of any religion) :could you give me your idea about this spritual poem of Rumi? beloved here referes to God
One Whisper of the Beloved
Lovers share a sacred decree –
to seek the Beloved.
They roll head over heels,
rushing toward the Beautiful One
like a torrent of water
In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved –
Our seeking is His seeking,
Our words are His words.
At times we flow toward the Beloved
like a dancing stream.
At times we are still water
held in His pitcher.
At times we boil in a pot
turning to vapor –
that is the job of the Beloved.
He breathes into my ear
until my soul
takes on His fragrance.
He is the soul of my soul –
How can I escape?
But why would any soul in this world
want to escape from the Beloved?
He will melt your pride
making you thin as a strand of hair,
Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,
One strand of His hair.
We search for Him here and there
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side we ask,
"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"
Enough with such questions! –
Let silence take you to the core of life.
All your talk is worthless
When compared to one whisper
of the Beloved.
-Rumi

Hon....i won't be in a position to tutor you a thank you to with this because of the fact i'm no longer an atheist or a Christan. i don't comprehend why you have chosen the path you're on yet as I study your questions and solutions, I hear a gentle coronary heart, a apprehensive spirit and a quest for solutions to life and each and all of the whys even with the mask of sarcasm or harshness which you p.c. to placed on. human beings right here p.c. to label others. You rip on the labels and the mask even even with the incontrovertible fact which you carry close on on your very own with a loss of life grip. i won't be in a position to attend till you're taking the step to alter right into a organic loose philosopher and permit the mask slide.........the skill which you will launch would be blinding. Blessed Be ......Crone

I'm a writer. You have too many people in the poem. You start talking about a couple, then shift to God/higher power, then end with talking to the reader. Because you deal with three distinct groups/people, it lacks focus. It needs a few rewrites.
