The people of this world are like the three butterflies
in front of a candle’s flame.
The first one went closer and said:
I know about love.
The second one touched the flame
lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love’s fire can burn.
The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame
and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is.
Farid al-Din Attar
More about Attar later. He was a Sufi from the 12th century
The flame is the Agni of Hindu. It is the core to all Hindu yagna
The yagna is a way to meditate – however the technique is lost thankfully a few know if it
