Lesson 61

Oh Thou whose Memory quickens Lovers' Souls.

Excerpt

Oh Thou whose Memory quickens Lovers' Souls, Whose Fount of Joy renews the Lover's Tongue, Thy Shadow falls across the World, and they Bow down to it; and of the Rich in Beauty Thou art the Riches that make Lovers mad.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Jami, a Persian poet, God is the One whose remembrance revives the souls of those who love: His shadow falls across the world, and all beauty is but a reflection of His riches. Today, each time something beautiful touches you, a face, a piece of music, a landscape, turn it into a remembrance of God by whispering His name.
