    1- The Art of Knowing is knowing what to ignore! 2- Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor 3- I want to sing like the bird sing not worrying about who hears or what they think 4- You think because you understand one you must also understand two, because one and one make two but you must also understand And that which is between those two 5- Yesterday I was Clever so I wanted to change the World, Today I am wise so I am changing myself 6- It's your road and yours alone, others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you 7- Before death takes away what you are given, give away what there is to give So Beautifully said. Thank you for sharing and I enjoy all your inspirational talks and meditations tremendously! Please keep them coming...

    Yes life is an amazing gift and there is no manuel instruction so I am amazed how fasse our perceptions are. And how easy some things are and how it takes us so long to réalise that the answer was all there so close to us all thé time and sometimes we want to complicate it for nothing and we struggle for nothing.. While accepting the rejection or love is much easier then struggle

    I love mystic so much for it is so beautiful and deep. I begin to feel Rumi's energi every time I read His poem; I once had a beautiful supernatural experience with a 15 year old boy in Nepal by the name Ram Bahadur Bomjon or Buddha boy with divine power. He communicated the most beautiful mystic words I've ever experienced: "I wake up in all can-see of a dog; in all can-hear of a dog; in all can-know of a dog, and I can tell that the end is near".

    Indeed, Rumi’s poems are very inspiring given that he apparently had a great spiritual awakening. Another thought about how to live one’s life is: “O Son of Spirit! My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly, and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable, and everlasting.” Baha’u’llah. As I age, I find this bit of advice to be increasingly important.

    True spirituality comes from serving haigher purpose connecting higher being within our life and society unlike isolating ourself from the problems and community which are very common in many so-called spiritual cult/communities. The thing is we want attain spiritually like Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammed Rumi but do not want to explore his source of spirituality. Then how can we achieve his kind of spirituality in the first place . Rumi‘s Heart was connected with almighty Allah. One might fell his spirituality in his life but never fully enjoy unless one connect his heart to the same source of spirituality. Without higher point our soul is disconnected, wandering soul .

    When your mind is completely surrender within your breath slowly and gradually you will feel a peaceful feeling. So breathing is simple feeling is simple. So focus on your breath and enjoy yourself to the fullest. In the deepest wells of your breath where all the inspiration come from. Listen and silent are spell with the same letter. Silence is the language of the Divine all the languages is just poor translation. RuMi said your eyes are so little but your eye can see enormous thing RuMi is referring to the eye of the breath closed your physical eyes opened your inner eye stayed there and fall in love. Knowledge of the world make you knowledgeable and knowledge of the self make you enlightenment when you see my beauty in your heart too that beauty is the coming and going of the breath our true foundation where our world begin. So Wendy you can get in touch with me on Facebook if you wish so.

    10:20...a real good indicator that this is a woman's belief and practice is hairy legs and underarms...when a woman forgoes shaving bc shes made an honest self-assessment that it's a practice not enjoyed or looked forward to and probably is doing it more , in a sense, for others and their approval and acceptance and a need to adhere to cultural norms and fit in , that is a woman singing like the birds a step closer than "the shavers" experiencing LOVE....organic, real-deal, our core substance LOVE. there's great challenge to experience what we are at the core in this life bc so many things that we wouldnt even imagine to be barriers, ie shaving, keep us from that ultimate ongoing experience.,,,,While we're on Rumi, it echos his thought of seeking to find not love, but the barriers that keep us from it. as it goes , we're seldom aware of barriers being barriers until they are gone from us and we realize in hind sight how it was a blockade.

    How to live our lives: To know Rumi is to know quantum mechanic. Soul trapped in body and mind. soul travel ( out of body projection) and go to other planes While you are here is primary target no need to die and see it it is about control your electron rotation so you can rise up In to your vortex , only soul can do Soul is one atom of HU( mother of all reality and totality) and will go back When he or she gets ready and learn Full lesson of LOVE Rumi becomes Rumi when he met Shams ( master of quantum world) Wake up it is quantum world Life is Eck and Eck is life

    If he’s work is respected by yourself I’d advise you refer to him by his actual name, rumi is just his nickname due to him settling in Anatolia (known as diyar-I-Rum by the Muslims in the east) Also he is MUSLIM so you should disclose that as well as him being a “mystic or sufi ” but that might be controversial mentioning in American churches
