Hello Rumi Tuesday

 

Be empty of worrying - 550x290

 

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.
