Do You Know What You Are ?

Do you know what you are ?

You are a manuscript of a divine letter.

You are a letter reflecting a noble face.

This Universe is not outside of you.

Look inside yourself,

everything that you want,

you are already that. 

Rumi

Close Your Eyes

Some Love Quotes from Rumi

"Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there."

❂

"I’ve been looking for a long, long time,
for this thing called love,
I’ve ridden comets across the sky,
and I’ve looked below and above.
Then one day I looked inside myself,
and this is what I found,
A golden sun residing there,
beaming forth God’s light and sound."

❂

"In fact, my soul and yours are the same. You appear in me, I appear in you. We hide in each other."

I Come Home

I come home from the soaring

in which I lost myself

I was song, and the refrain which is God

is still roaring in my ears.

Now I am still

and plain;

no more words.

To the others I was like the wind:

I made them shake.

I'd gone very far, as far as the angels,

and high, where light thins into nothing.
But deep in the darkness is God ..

By Rainer Maria Rilke

Turning Weakness into A gift

Our greatest weakness points to a hidden potential for transformation and achieving its opposite; where there is fear, may be courage...where the heart is closed, a deep capacity to love...where there might be ignorance, lies true wisdom…. Through the recognizing of a weakness a desire is born. It is like an impulse from the soul, urging the machine to look for solutions to seek guidance, to be shaped by the friction…

Until finally, through one’s own efforts and some higher third force, we can claim that the weakness has become an offering to the gods.
