I am neither Christian nor Jew, Zoroastrian nor Muslim.
I'm not of Nature's mint, nor of the circling heavens.
I'm not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity.
I am neither from Mesopotamia nor from Iran.
I am not of Adam or Eve, nor of Eden and Paradise.
It is neither body nor soul: I belong to the soul of the Beloved,
I seek only one, I know, see, and call only one.
Divan of Shams-e-Tabrizi
I am not of the East, the West, the land, or the sea;
I'm not of earth, water, air, fire;
I'm not from India, China, Bulgaria, or Turkestan;
I'm not of this world or the next, nor of Paradise or Hell;
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless;
I have put duality away and have seen the two worlds as one;
He is the first and the last, the outward and the inward;
I know none other than "O Lord" and "O Lord, Lord."
Mowlänä J. Rumi
