Ruminating with Rumi
To enter the whole of the all is to leave worldly learning behind. All you ever learned from the world was separation. The world has words. The room within holds your presence. The whole of the all is the presence of all in unity. Follow the way. It has no words. With eyes that see, stones become pearls and sticks no longer are snakes. You see the reality of all. Reality has no start and finish, no this and that. Bread can come before planting the grain. There is knowing without epiphany. Be free of past and future. Know now in all that you experience and do. This is to do nothing on your own. Twia knows. Remember twia within. Twia will lead you into knowing the whole of the all and the presence of unity in all.
To know the whole of the all is to know consciousness in all of existence. There is knowing in consciousness that comes through the whole of the all. In separation, you judge the past and give hope to the future. Judgment and hope are not knowledge. They are fear. Fear drives the human condition. To live from within is to be free of fear. There is no judgment and hope in the whole of the all. The whole of the all is wisdom and joy. This is your true nature. What appears as past and future is false perception. They are products of separation. They are you and me, here and there, and this and that. Existence is light broken into a rainbow. Its colors are perceived as separations, but the light never loses its unity.
Rumi likens himself to an ant in a granary trying to lug out a grain that is way too big. Imagine that ant trying to empty the granary one grain at a time. That is the weight of the mystery if you accept it alone. You are not alone. You are the whole of the all. You are consciousness in existence.
