You are it
What comes, will go
What is found, will be lost again
But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description,
You are it
~ Rumi
A seeker of truth
A seeker of truth
Looks beyond the apparent and contemplates the hidden
What the senses perceive is only a distortion
We all look for something that is not yet in existence
Beggars look for coins,
Shopkeepers look for profit
Farmers for harvest
Pupils for knowledge
And seekers for enlightenment,
Non existence is the treasure house of God in the process of becoming manifest
~ Rumi
Where the truth is seen
A bird with tied wings cannot fly
Only a soul free from attachments can reach the higher planes
From where the truth can be seen
~ Rumi
The only way out is faith
Only ignorance keeps a bird encaged
The masters have fled from their cage
And have become guides,
Showing that the only way out of ignorance is faith ❤
~ Rumi ~
The field beyond
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field,
I’ll meet you there
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about
~ Rumi ~
Love – Rumi
Your task is not to seek
For love
But merely to find all the barriers
Within yourself
That you have built against it
~ Rumi ~
The Garden of Compassion
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.
~Rumi~
In your light
In your light I learn how to love,
In your beauty, how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art
~ Rumi ~
