It was within yourself, what Heaven brought.
What comes from God is in your heart the wine
Of Bliss and Wisdom. It will ne'er be found
By those who do not stand on sacred ground.
The singing of the flute came from Above;
The flute was in my heart; the song was Love.
It was the Ocean's endless melody:
A song of God and of Eternity.
* Frithjof Schuon is German by birth and Swiss by nationality and has lived many years in France. He is a well-respected European mystic and philosopher of the perennialist movement.
Most of his major philosophical works have been written in French and translated into other languages, though he has written some poems directly in English. Source: www.poetry-chaikhana.com/S/SchuonFrithj/index.htm
