Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - Moving WaterMewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - Moving Water
Work rating: Medium


When  you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. When actions come from another section, the feeling disappears.   Don`t let others lead you.  They may be blind or, worse, vultures. Reach for the rope of God.  And what is that?  Putting aside self-will. Because of willfulness people sit in jail, the trapped bird`s wings are tied, fish sizzle in the skillet. The anger of police is willfulness.  You`ve seen a magistrate inflict visible punishment.   Now see the invisible.  If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you`ve been torturing your soul.  We are born and live inside black water in a well. How could we know what an open field of sunlight is? Don`t insist on going where you think you want to go.  Ask the way to the spring.  Your living pieces will form a harmony.   There is a moving palace that floats in the air with balconies and clear water flowing through, infinity everywhere, yet contained under a single tent.
