Ruminating with Rumi
To leave the world for the room within is to gain eyes that see, ears that hear, and a heart that knows. You exist in the emptiness that is consciousness. You are aware of the whole of the all. From within, you see the illusion of separation, hear the silence that is the voice of I AM, and know that you are that which I AM. What you once longed for is your own true nature. You are the source and the longing. There is no source separate from you. You are I AM. There is no other.
When the body fails, withers, and drops away, then you are closer to home. You cannot bring this to end yourself. You must follow the nature of your calling. Your calling is to remember that you are that which I AM. It is within the heart that you find the way. The mind is lost in the realm of separation. It rationalizes this and that. The heart brings peace to all situations. It does not judge and hope. It is joy in the moment. Do not analyze so much as bring awareness to the moment. It is in the moment that you awaken, not at the end of a long rationalization.
