Ruminating with Rumi
Release the body. It serves you on the outside but cannot enter the room within. Remove its chains. Step out of its darkness. Enter the light. Twia is formless. You cannot follow both form and twia. You are not your body. You are I AM. The me of the body will return to dust. You are eternal. The way of the path is your own true nature. To walk the way of the path is to follow twia. Bare your heart to the light that is I AM.
Say to your neighbor, “you are that which I AM.” There is but one. Together, as one, suffering ends. To know your neighbor as I AM is to know the whole of the all. To express the whole of the all is to live in wisdom and joy.
Step away from desire. Do not let it follow you as you enter the room within. There is freedom within. To enter the room within is to live without fear of oblivion. To enter the room within is to touch the eternal. The eternal is not time everlasting. The eternal is without time. It has no time, no place, no end. These are thoughts of separation. The eternal is said without words.
There is no veil over eyes that see. The eye that sees never closes. It is focused on the path. The path leads to the room within. Herein lies the still silence that is twia. The voice of twia is there for those with ears that hear. On the way of the path, desire escapes you. Your senses wither to reflect awareness of the whole of the all. Twia is your guide, giving you eyes that see and ears that hear. Awareness is the keen sense that reveals twia within and reflects twia in the world. To be aware is to know consciousness in all.
