Did I say that Rumi elevates you? I was so wrong…
He does not elevate you, he EXPANDS you…!!!
He makes you grand and cosmic and beyond what you can think. He envelops you with the cosmos.

I saw you and became empty.
This emptiness, more beautiful than existence,
it obliterates existence, and yet when it comes,
existence thrives and creates more existence…!
When I had that experience, this is exactly what I had come to know. I am grateful, for he drowned me in the truth.
