Rumi. Divan e Shamms. .The man of God...(Post 73)

The man of God is drunken without wine, The man of God is full without meat. The man of God is distraught and bewildered, The man of God has no food or sleep. The man of God is a king "neath dervish-cloak, The man of God is a treasure in a ruin. The man of God is not of air and earth, The man of God is not of fire and water. The man of God is a boundless sea, The man of God rains pearls without a cloud. The man of God has hundred moons and skies, The man of God has hundred suns. The man of God is made wise by the Truth, The man of God is not learned from book. The man of God is beyond infidelity and religion, To the man of God right and wrong are alike. The man of God has ridden away from Not-being, The man of God is gloriously attended. The man of God is concealed, Shamsi Din; The man of God do you seek and find!
