The Seeker



Adapted from Rumi

After years of inner work, 
A seeker found the door of the Beloved and knocked. 
A voice asked: 
“Who is there?” 
The seeker answered: 
“It is I.” 


The voice said: 
“There is no room for me and you.” 
And the door stayed shut. 
The persistent seeker engaged in ever deeper spiritual practice, 
And then returned to the door of the Beloved and knocked. 
The voice from within asked: 
“Who is there?” 
And the door opened, 
And the seeker opened 
And said: 
“It is You.”
