“The Eye of Karma by Stewart Stafford
Do we still rationalise things we do?
Karma's cold, clear eye sees through,
Soiled laundry aired for the public to see,
A looking glass raised to gross misdeeds.
No compunction, an inflaming sick note,
Deaf to the plea bargains began by rote,
Facing peccadilloes that seek redress,
Damaging overflow of avarice and hubris.
Poison sucked from self-flagellation wounds,
The stinging venom disgorged and plumed,
A penalty passed with the gavel in hand,
Purge those failings with goodwill planned.

“The eye of the mystic who is enraptured in love sees traces of eternal beauty everywhere and listens to the mute eloquence of everything created.
Whatever he mentions, his goal is the essence of the beloved—like Zulaykha, who, longing for Joseph's beauty, applied to him "the name of every thing, from rue-seed to aloes-wood."
If she piled up a hundred thousand names— her meaning and intention was always Joseph.

“THE EYE OF TIME
The eye of time has witnessed countless spectacles,
Every joy bound to wounds, a profound connection tangible.
Dreams extinguished in silence, unseen by all,
Desires crumbling as wishes at their side would fall.
Time played its games in the theater of existence,
Love defeated, while hatred found persistence.
Hearts became desolate in mere moments,
Helplessness weeping at the doorstep of life's torments.
The eye of time could never grasp this mystery,
Why behind every smile lurks sorrow's misery.
Yet this heart, for centuries, has asked again,
Why does darkness follow when light remains?”

“The eye of wahdat looks out at the world with no judgments. Sufis in a state of wahdat look outwards and have no complaints against God. They see the perfection of everything as it is. It does not mean they see saint and sinner as well as justice and injustice as equal. They see the differences and contradictions, but also see their perfection and usefulness in the beautiful state of wahdat. If there is an injustice, the dervish will try to make it right while still seeing the perfection of the Oneness. (p. 75)”

“The eye should learn to listen before it looks.”

“The eye turned to the fire gave back no light and he closed it with his thumb and sat by her and put his hand upon her bloodied forehead and closed his own eyes that he could see her running in the mountains, running in the starlight where the grass was wet and the sun's coming as yet had not undone the rich matrix of creatures passed in the night before her. Deer and hare and dove and groundvole all richly empaneled on the air for her delight, all nations of the possible world ordained by God of which she was one among and not separate from. Where she ran the cries of the coyotes clapped shut as if a door had closed upon them and all was fear and marvel. He took up her stiff head out of the leaves and held it or he reached to hold what cannot be held, what already ran among the mountains at once terrible and of great beauty, like flowers that feed on flesh. What blood and bone are made of but can themselves not make on any altar nor by any wound of war. What we may well believe has power to cut and shape and hollow out the dark form of the world surely if wind can, if rain can. But which cannot be held never be held and is no flower but is swift and a huntress and the wind itself is in terror of it and the world cannot lose it.”

“The eyelids confess, and reject, and refuse to reject. They have expressed all things ever since man was man. And they express so much by seeming to hide or to reveal that which indeed expresses nothing. For there is no message from the eye. It has direction, it moves, in the service of the sense of sight; it receives the messages of the world. But expression is outward, and the eye has it not. There are no windows of the soul, there are only curtains.”
“The eyes and ears, seeing and hearing, are external plunderers; emotions, desires, and opinions are internal plunderers. But if the inner mind is awake and alert, sitting aloof in the middle of it all, then these plunderers change and become members of the household.”
