Ruminating with Rumi
The world turns toward you from the room within. It responds to your true nature coming forward. Not that the world is altered, it is an illusion of separation always, but because you now have eyes to see through the illusion and perceive the whole of the all. Be unconcerned. You do not know. Release your true nature by remembering twia. To remember twia is to know the way. Open your heart to all and the world will feed you in abundance. Close your heart and you will find nothing but sand in your bowl. Either way, it is the same illusion. You choose what you want from it.
Do you know what you want? To receive is to share, to give. You cannot get back what you do not give out. Be careful what you give out. You will get it back. Give without desire. Do not expect a return. What appears on the outside is not always true within. You must give from the heart without thought. The heart within is joy and wisdom. There is no desire and expectation in the room within. What you give from within extends to all without separation. Without separation, giving and receiving are the same. Place alms in the hands of another from the heart, not from the desires and expectations of the world. Acts of giving look the same from the outside. Only you know what is within your heart as you give. Give freely without attachments. Your abundance is unending.
