Dive in the Ocean Rumi

Gamble everything for love,
if you are a true human being.

If not, leave this gathering.

Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.

You set out to find God,
but then you keep stopping for long periods
at meanspirited roadhouses.

Don’t wait any longer.

DIVE
IN THE OCEAN,
LEAVE &
LET THE SEA BE YOU.

~ Jalal ad-din Rumi
-Translated by Coleman Barks.

The heart seeks to release its attachment to the world of illusion.
It yearns to let go and allow the ego to be dissolved into the Ocean –
The Essence of The One.

Surrender of the ego brings up moments of fear – some moments last a lifetime.

To truly know the majesty, we must let go completely.
We must willingly take the deep dive,
to cease to be as an individual self
and Let the Sea be Me.
