Be empty of
WORRYING.
Think of who created
THOUGHT.
~ Jalal ad-din Rumi
-Translated by Coleman Barks.
Do you ever wonder why a
God of unconditional love
gives us a mind that
persuades the heart from loving?
Fears, doubts, worry –
all instruments of the mind,
well-intentioned to protect us from harm.
When our consciousness loses
it’s sense of the Real
and we believe in individuality and self-importance,
when through the senses and perceptions
of the human body
we define our existence as this material world,
only then can we know
separation from love
and ultimately separation from God.
Only then can we truly know love.
Only then can we comprehend the meaning of unconditional.
Only then can we know unity.
Only then can we bathe in the Ocean
of the Essence of the One.
