The Chamber of Your Heart
Go sweep out the chamber of your heart,
Make it ready to be the dwelling place of the Beloved,
When you depart, He will enter,
In you, void of yourself,
He will display His beauty.
Though the chamber of the heart is small,
It is large enough for the Lord of both worlds to gladly make His home there.
From ‘The Secret Rose Garden’ by Mahmud Shbistari, 13th century Sufi Poet.
