What is your favourite work by Rumi?
Because of the very nature OF duality, one must accept as factual duality's transient presence in order to truly comprehend its objective non-existence

I've only ever heard one of Rumi's poems: "Looking for Your Face", and I don't even know if that is the real title of it or which group of works it comes from. Regardless, it is a very moving and richly written poem that was shared with me by a friend who is a Sufi Muslim.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20

Re: Favourite Work by Rumi - poll
I'm fond of Descent and then this one from "We Are Three":

I am part of the load
Not rightly balanced
I drop off in the grass,
like the old Cave-sleepers, to browse
wherever I fall.

For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains
floating and flying in the will of the air,
often forgetting ever being
in that state, but in sleep
I migrate back. I spring loose
from the four-branched, time -and-space cross,
this waiting room.

I walk into a huge pasture
I nurse the milk of millennia

Everyone does this in different ways.
Knowing that conscious decisions
and personal memory
are much too small a place to live,
every human being streams at night
into the loving nowhere, or during the day,
in some absorbing work.
