The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?
RumiIf you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
RumiBeing desirable means being comfortable with your own ambiguity. The most ambiguous reality is that we are flesh and spirit at the same time. Within everyone there is light and shadow, good and evil, love and hate. In order to be truthful, you must embrace your total being. A person who exhibits both positive and negative qualities, strengths and weaknesses is not flawed, but complete.
Rumi
