A recipe for serenity
Rumi(1207–1273), who is also known as Mevlânâ, is a well-known Persian poet, and through his words, he has illuminated many people’s lives with his wisdom.
I’ve always admired his unique way of describing his ideas, and perspectives, and so today, I’d like to share with you 7 secrets to life by Rumi, and I hope you’ll find them inspirational.
1-Know what you really are
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.”
2-Swim with the current of life
“Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.”
3-Escape the mental prisons
“Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
4-Communicate through kindness, it opens all doors
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
5-Tolerance and kindness are essential
“Listen with ears of tolerance! See through with the eyes of compassion! Speak with the language of love.”
6-Where you struggle you grow
“The wound is the place where the light enters you”
7-Be open-minded
“Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.”
