A beautiful sufi poem by a Sufi Teacher from India:
(To read about his life, just follow this Link)
SNOW
Let Thy knowledge cover my heart
as the snow covers the ground.
Let my heart melt in Thy light
as snow before the sun.
Let my heart show the purity of snow
in the path of righteousness.
Pour on me Thy eternal life
as snow on earth.
Make my heart delighted
by the snowfall of Thy knowledge of truth.

Mysticism and the Sufis
Monday, October 18, 2004 By Maryam
Neither the laughter of a mystic nor his tears are to be taken as any outward expression, which means something. His tears may perhaps be a cover for very great joy, his smile, his laughter may be a cover for a very deep sentiment. His open eyes, his closed eyes, the turning of his face, his glance, his silence, his conversation, none of these has the meaning one is accustomed to attribute to them. Yet it does not mean that the mystic does this purposely; he is made thus; no one could purposely do it even if he wished, no one has the power to do it. The truth is that the soul of the mystic is a dancing soul. It has realized that inner law. It has fathomed that mystery for which souls long and in the joy of that mystery the whole life of the mystic becomes a mystery. You may see the mystic twenty times a day, and twenty times he will have a different expression. Every time his mood is different; and yet his outward mood may not at all be his inner mood. The mystic is an example of God's mystery in the form of man.
