Rumi (1207---1273) genius poet

1

Notice the dust

moving in the light from the window.

Their dance is our dance.

We seldom listen to the music within us,

but we all dance to it.

2

We are the mirror and the face in the mirror.

We taste the taste of eternity at this moment,

We are pain and the savior of pain.

We are sweet, cool water and jars for splashing water.

3

Why should I look for him?

Am I not him?

His essence is revealed through me.

All I am looking for is myself!

4

If you can escape

your own entanglement,

all the spirits of heaven,

They will deign to serve you.

If you can hunt

your beastly self,

you have earned the privilege,

to master Solomon's kingdom .

5

Don’t just be satisfied with hearing other people’s stories.

Don’t just be satisfied with knowing

what happened to others.

Unfold your own myth,

Let everyone understand the meaning of this sentence:

We opened you.

6

Pay attention to the movement of every particle of dust.

Pay attention to every traveler who has just arrived.

Notice the different dishes they each want to order.

Notice how the stars set, how the sun rises, how all the rivers rush to the sea.

7

A wound is a place where light can shine in.

8

If we can each hold a candle,

walk into the dark room together,

can only see

Full view of the elephant.

9

Don’t ask what love can accomplish!

A colorful world is the answer.

River water flows in thousands of rivers at the same time.

Truth is alive in the face of the lover.

10

There is a seed of light,

planted in you.

You must water it yourself,

or it will die.

11

In the body of the world,

they say, there is a soul,

that soul is you.

However, you and I are always among each other,

This,

no one has ever thought about.

12

There is an archetype inside me.

It is a mirror, your mirror.

When I am happy, you will be happy too.

When I am sad, you will be sad too.

I am like the shadow of a cypress tree on the green ground,

I am inseparable from the cypress tree for a moment.

I am like the shadow of a rose,

always staying close to the rose.

13

In your light, I learn how to love.

In your beauty, I learned to write poetry.

Dancing in your mind, others cannot see you,

But sometimes, I can see it,

That glance makes this art.

14

There is a field,

which lies outside the realm of right and wrong.

I'll wait for you there.

When the soul lies on that green grass,

The richness of the world is far beyond the scope of words.

Ideas, words, even phrases like "you and me"

become meaningless.

15

From the moment we heard the story of our first love,

I started looking for you,

For this How blind

Knowing nothing.

Lovers do not eventually meet somewhere.

They are always there for each other.

16

Don’t worry, these sounds have nowhere to hide!

Even if one of our instruments breaks,

we don’t have to worry about it.

What we have fallen into is a place where music is everywhere.

Even if all the harps in the world were burned down,

there would still be hidden instruments playing.

17

All thirst quenching vessels

Kettles, buckets

Must be getting tired of me.

There is a thirsty fish inside me,

It has an insatiable thirst!

Guide me the way to the sea!

Break all those empty and stingy containers

into pieces.

Break all those fantasies and sorrows

into pieces.

Let my house be soaked in

the tide that rose outside the village last night,

the tide that is hidden in the center of my chest.

18

Will I get there?

The place where the deer pounced on the lion.

Will I get there?

Where the one I seek pursues me.

19

Anything you do consistently every day,

can open a door

to the depths of your spirit. ,

The door to freedom.

20

If the one you love,

has a life of fire,

then burn with him.

21

Me: What should I do with my eyes?

God: It is the path that you focus on.

Me: Where is my passion?

God: Keep burning.

Me: Where is my heart?

God: Tell me what’s in it?

Me: Pain and sadness.

God: The wound is where the sun shines into your body.

22

Make yourself a disreputable man,

all your passions at the moment.

Close your eyes and look at things with your third eye.

Stretch out your arms if you want to be hugged.

23

Do not be satisfied with just reciting the word "she".

Feel her breath.

Books and words can bring witty words,

and wise words can sometimes bring unity.
