Love is the cure…
Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
In the silence between your heartbeat bides a summons. Do you hear it? Name it if you must, or leave it forever nameless, but why pretend it is not there?
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Whatever posessions and objects of its desires
the lower self may obtain,
it hangs on to them,
refusing to let them go out of greed for more,
or out of fear of poverty and need
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
If we are wasting time and enjoying ourselves we are not wasting time.
— Paulo Coelho
This is so true 🙂 and this is so ME!
Why did you choose me
out of all the faces in
all of the places?
Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson (via tylerknott)
One person can never conquer one nature. Those who do will always end up in a wrong end
Al Humphreys on Al-Jazeera
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of live.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
I don’t want to reach the secret sky, but I am halfway up there. I let myself fly. And I don’t even know what I’m thinking….
O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
Hai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah sekumpulan orang laki-laki merendahkan kumpulan yang lain, boleh jadi yang ditertawakan itu lebih baik dari mereka. Dan jangan pula sekumpulan perempuan merendahkan kumpulan lainnya, boleh jadi yang direndahkan itu lebih baik. Dan janganlah suka mencela dirimu sendiri dan jangan memanggil dengan gelaran yang mengandung ejekan. Seburuk-buruk panggilan adalah (panggilan) yang buruk sesudah iman dan barangsiapa yang tidak bertobat, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang zalim.
(One of my favorite verses in the Qur’an. No offence here, but I do think Arab people need to read this verse and carry it out in real life! Rather than viewing Asians lower than them and treating them with no respect.)
When you forgive, you love, and when you love, God’s light shines through you.
