Ruminating with Rumi
You are worthy of joy. There is no end to joy. Display joy for all to see. You are the joy of the world.
The ground shakes. You are still. Do not rise to follow the tremors. All is well. Never leave the stillness of the moment. Why flee to what is not real? Your joy lies within. Do not trust your joy to the world.
The world trembles outside the door. Joy embraces you within. In joy your eyes are opened to see the whole of the all. Use your life to live in joy so that all may see.
Let your joy be revealed to all. In joy you are the lamp on the hill that is lit for all to see. Those who are lost will find their way in the light of your joy.
Be patient in darkness. It is your home. The light of the world is false. The darkness within is real. Let the world shake in its tremors. Do not fear the darkness. Stay within. Joy will find you in the deepest pits of despair. To know this is to know the joy that you are. When you accept your joy, all is well.
