”Beyond ideas of right and wrongdoing theres a field, ill meet you there”

 

”You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens”

 

[Nahm]

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.

[Samra]

I wish you guys could read them in Farsi <3 it's just another level. The translation doesn't do justice.

 

"Said : you are not insane enough. You don't deserve this house. So I went mad , and I broke all my chains.

Said : you are not drunk enough, to be in company of divinity. So I drank until I lost all my senses.

Said you already have your feathers, I'm not giving you anymore wings. So I lost all my feathers , crawling on the ground, in hopes that it will grace me with its ultimate flight."

@Samra Yeah i’ve heard that you need to know the original language to get the gist of it, but that would take too long to learn for me haha

COME, COME, WHOEVER YOU ARE; COME, COME, WHOEVER YOU ARE;

WANDERER, WORSHIPPER, LOVER OF LEARNING... 

IT DOES NOT MATTER. 

OURS IS NOT A CARAVAN OF DESPAIR.

COME, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR VOW

A THOUSAND TIMES.

COME, COME, YET AGAIN COME.

 

Jalaluddin Rumi made a meditation of whirling.

What you seek is seeking you.

Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun. 

Fall, & He'll raise you to the heavens. 

Become nothing, & He'll turn you into everything.

Apparently this beautiful Rumi poem is inscribed on the entrance to the United Nations building:

The sons of Adam are limbs of each other,
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time affects one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others,
You are unworthy to be called by the name of a Human.

Quote

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
