Let the beauty we love be what we do
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings.
Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Yes, I gotta keep walking, though I don’t know where this path leads me to. I live in the present and that’s the only thing I can see. "Now" is where I belong. And I don’t want to let my fear controls me. Because fear looks too much on the future and I’m not supposed to see it.
Fight for the fear and live the life we have now.
Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language,
even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make any sense.
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
So, I’ll meet you in that field?
Until you’ve found pain, you won’t reach the cure
Until you’ve given up life, you won’t unite with the supreme soul
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
True. When we are happy, sometimes we forget to be thankful to The Creator. When we suffer, that’s when we try to search for Him.
May Allah SWT always protects us and makes us one of those people who always remember Him. Amin.
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend’s hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon
So powerful I fell to the ground
Your love has made me sure
I am ready to forsake this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence of your Being
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
So beautifully written. It makes me wonder, when will I find You? Yes, you, whose love made me sure to forsake this worldly life. And whose love made me surrender to the magnificence of your Being.
Whoever you are, don’t hide. Don’t walk away. Walk slowly so I can find your footpath. And eventually find You.
One day You will take my heart completely and make it more fiery than a dragon. Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
— 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
