1. Attention
Pay attention to the movement of every particle of dust. Pay attention to every new passenger. Please note that each of them wants to order a different dish. Notice how the stars sink, how the sun rises, and how all the rivers and streams flow to the sea.
2. Love
An invisible bird flew by and cast a fleeting shadow. What is that? It is the shadow of your love, but it fills the whole universe.
3. A gift for you
You have no idea how difficult it will be to choose a gift for you. Nothing seems appropriate. Why send gold to a gold mine or water to the ocean? Everything I think of is like going to the East with spices and giving you my heart. It's no use, because you already have these, so I brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
About the author:
Rumi was born in Balkh (in today's Afghanistan), so he also has a name called Balkh, but the name Rumi is commonly used.
His original name is Muhammad, and Jalaluddin is his title, which means religious saint. Later, he was also called Moravi, which means master and elder. He was a famous poet and mystic in ancient Persia. His poems have great influence on world theology, religion and even world culture.
Rumi's poems are full of spirituality, truth and mystery. Reading his poems has a feeling of traveling through time and space, and you will feel that every word of his is soothing your heart.
His poems, like the stars in the night, light up the hearts of countless lost people, as warm as the lost children finally find light and embrace conversion.
Chams of Tabrizi is an ascetic monk, a teacher and close friend of Rumi. Rumi learned to experience God directly from him and became a mystic poet. Tabrizi: A city in northwest Iran; Chams: It means the sun in Persian. Therefore, the sun in Tabrizi in the poem has a double meaning.
