Ruminating with Rumi
You are the presence of consciousness in existence. Your presence is real. Your form is illusion. You are eternal by nature, not transitory. You are a glimpse of awareness in the whole of awareness that is I AM. See yourself as you really are. You are whole, complete, perfect, and eternal. The eyes of the body do not see your true nature. You must turn within to have such vision. You cannot know with the weak senses of the body and mind. The glow of knowledge that is your true nature lies within. Enter without seeking. Do nothing. Sit in the still silence of darkness. The glow of your true nature will appear.
The world did not create you. The world in which you live is of your own making. You are the origin of existence. The dust that billows around you is pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow which are driven by desire and expectation. These are illusions. They are not real. They are changeable and transitory. They are not you. You are real. Bring your reality into existence. You can clear the dust by entering the room within. There you touch the eternal. There is no greater power than knowing your true nature. You are the emptiness of consciousness. Sit in its still silence. Receive knowledge of your true nature. There is freedom in solitude and power in knowing you are that which I AM. There is no other.
