In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
RumiLittle by little, wean yourself. This is the gist of what I have to say. From an embryo whose nourishment comes in the blood, move to an infant drinking milk, to a child on solid food, to a searcher after wisdom, to a hunter of invisible game.
RumiOnce the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
RumiThis being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Rumi
