Be crumbled.

So wild flowers will come up where you are.

You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.

Surrender.

Jalaluddin Rumi

    Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you.

    True beauty is a ray
    That springs from the sacred depths of the soul,
    and illuminates the body, just as life
    springs from the kernel of a stone and
    gives colour and scent to a flower.

    Every war and every conflict between human beings has happened because of some disagreement about names. It is such an unnecessary foolishness, because just beyond the arguing there is a long table of companionship set and waiting for us to sit down. What is praised is one, so the praise is one too, many jugs being poured into a huge basin. All religions, all this singing one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. Sunlight looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall and a lot different on this other one, but it is still one light. We have borrowed these clothes, these time-and-space personalities, from a light, and when we praise, we are pouring them back in.

    This is love:
    to fly toward a secret sky,
    to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
    First, to let go of life.
    In the end, to take a step without feet;
    to regard this world as invisible,
    and to disregard what appears to be the self.

    Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
    to enter this circle of lovers,
    to see beyond seeing itself,
    to reach and feel within the breast.

    We were green: we ripened and grew golden.
    The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown.
    Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings.
    We started sober: are love's startled drunkards.

    You hide me in your cloak of nothingness
    Reflect my ghost in your glass of being
    I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream
    Where your eternity briefly trembles.

    The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." When a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.
