"There are many people with their eyes open whose hearts are shut. What do they see? Matter. But someone whose love is alert, even if the eyes go to sleep, he or she will be waking up thousands of others." The Rumi Journal
Rumi's poem elegantly and without fail touches our inner being and inspires us to go beyond our limitations towards the Divine.
"I am dust particles in sunlight,
I am the round sun.
To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.
I am morning mist,and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,and surf on the cliff.
Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,I am also the coral reef they founder on.
I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.
The musical air coming through a flute,a spark of stone, a flickeringin metal. Both candle,and the moth crazy around it.
Rose, and the nightingalelost in the fragrance.
I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,the evolutionary intelligence, the lift,and the falling away. What is,and what isn't. You who know Jelaluddin, You the one in all, say who I am.
Say I am You." Rumi
