In this blazing canvas of divine fire, the lover and the Beloved have become One. The wine of Heaven has spilled across eternity, and golden light of Truth surges from the heart of crimson passion. See how the white of surrender whirls wildly in the midst of scarlet flames of longing! A red-robed dervish, lost in the sama of non-existence, has cast off the body and turned his soul into an ocean of gold and blood of Love. Here there is no more “I”, only whirling… whirling… only burning… burning… until the ashes of existence are transformed into the pure Light of “He”. Every stroke of the palette knife is a cry from Rumi: “Burn! Burn! For in burning lies your salvation!” This painting is not merely color on canvas it is a living spark of that ancient wine that Rumi carried in his chest when he sang: “Whoever’s garment falls into this fire, is delivered forever.”
