Ruminating with Rumi
Knock at the door. Joy will let you in. To enter the room within is to know joy. Joy is your true nature. Live in joy always. That is the way of the path.
Jesus said to drink from the fountain of the living water. You are its flow. It runs as the river of life in you. You are the living water. Drink of your own true nature.
Find discipline in your practice. Drink of the fountain daily. Keep digging the well deeper. It has no bottom. The light of joy lives there. To drink of the water is to consume the light. It feeds you eternally.
Do not enter the shop with your coin purse snapped shut. Open your purse to the clerk. Spend a little. Spend more. Where did it go? Did you buy wisely or foolishly? Does it matter? Check your pockets. What do you find? It makes no difference. You gave of your joy.
