Rumi fascinates me, just like he seems to fascinate millions. He seems to speak from the past, right into the present moment, whispering into the blood and soul of the listener.
That seems to be the power of his words. As soon as you hear them, a chord plays in your heart, dissolving a cool sensation of peace within.Sample this:
"Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted,like the face of a mirror that contains no images.If you want a clear mirror,behold yourself and see the shameless truth,which the mirror reflects.If metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish,what polishing might the mirror of the heart require?Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference:the heart conceals secrets,while the mirror does not."
Rumi is a keeper. His words may for long feed my soul. Because those who recognize truth, know, he speaks from Love ...not religion.
