Rumi's wisdom ... on a Sunday morning

"Blessed is one who sees his weakness, 
and blessed is one who, 
when he sees a flaw in someone else, 
takes responsibility for it.
Because, half of any person is wrong and weak
and off the path.

HALF! The other half is dancing and swimming 
and flying in Invisible Joy.

You have ten open sores on your head.
Put what salve you have on yourself.

Point out to everyone the dis-ease you are.
That's part of getting well!

Don't try to be famous
until your face is completely washed of all fear. 
Try to avoid distracting thoughts.
Thoughts are like wild donkeys
in the thicket of human existence."
   ~ Rumi

  1. hmm i guess an after thought is summed by this Hadith:

    “A believer must not harbour any rancour against a believing women (wife); if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another.” ~ (Hadith- Muslim)
