“If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.” – Rumi – Video Credit : As I Have Loved You By Castro
This is an anecdote from The Book of Songs by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani (897-971 CE), the most famous collection of anecdotes from pre-Islamic Mecca, Medina, Damascus and Baghdad: “A friend went to visit the poet Muti Ibn Iyas and found, under him, a young man he was fucking, and on top of Muti was a young man fucking him, as if he were in a wardrobe or a litter. So he said to the poet: ‘What is this, O Muti?’ The poet replied: ‘This is the pleasure doubled’.” Muti anticipated Rumi (1207-73) by several centuries in doubling his quest for pleasure and knowledge, and thereby discover himself! – AJ
