If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldnโt slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer, and always have been. Didnโt you know?
RumiOnce the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now thatโs a blessing.
RumiBotha swimmer and a drowned man are in the water; the latter is borne by the water and controlled by it, while the swimmer is borne along by his own power and of his own volition. Every movement made by the drowned man - indeed, every act and word that issue from him - comes from the water, not from him... The saints are like this. They have died before death.
