Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system.
I am not from the Eastor the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground,
not natural or ethereal, notcomposed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a traceof the traceless.
Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner,
only that breath breathing human being.

Too profound! Way above my intellect.

I agree. Even I am trying hard to understand.
In my opinion-
We are born without any identity and are nothing but a breathing body . Our relationship ship with god (Rumi prefered to call god- beloved) is the only true.
