10 Rumi Quotes to Remind Us of Our Inner Light.
When life seems to be crumbling, both around me and within me, I’ll often grab a book and retreat to my bed.
If I am feeling particularly lazy, I might choose a novel. But when I am willing to put forth the effort to revive some essential part of myself that is withering, I instead choose the insightful words of great teachers.
Enter Rumi.
The first time I lent continual attention to this wise poet, I was sitting in a cafe in India. The waiter presented me with my mango lassi and smiled. As I watched him walk away, my eyes trailed over to the wee library. Rumi’s book was the first one I picked up. With his fluidity and even more distinct, his honesty, I was hooked.
The lassi was gone in minutes, but I continued to read for hours.
The beauty I found in his writing is that it is universal—all of us can relate. On my stroll home from the cafe, I couldn’t help but to have more faith in both myself and the universe: at that point, I realized they were one in the same.
Each of these quotes targets the topic of finding the truth that is located within each and every one of us.
Sit in a clean, uncluttered space and take as much time as is needed to read through these.
Clarity will come.
