by Jelalludin Rumi
…“In the following verses, Rumi seems to be encouraging people to wake up and not miss the opportunities to learn the great secrets of life. The vast majority of people ‘sleep’ through life unaware of the powers within them. Capable of attaining spiritual heights they seem to prefer the great dream of life instead of awakening to the true reality of themselves as a spark of the Devine Light.”…
Across the Doorsill
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you,
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep!
… “That which you seek, you already are.”….In tune with the wisdom of your heart, be ever conscious that you are a spark of the Great Light. Let love flow unimpeded from your heart. Remember the counsel of Rumi: “Let the beauty we love be what we do.”
This is a fun book and I truly LOVE Rumi. AJ
