Rumi: Trusting The Universe – Fear or Blessing?

by | Jan 14, 2017 | Blog, Poetry, QuotePosts | 0 comments

Invariably or maybe inevitably, themes, or principles, like “Trust the universe” … or … “let go” … or … “allow it to happen” … are encountered in the journey of self discovery, the journey where discovering one’s True Nature is the primary yearning … the exquisite, endless, paradoxical journey of self realization. Incorporating, or integrating, or living with such trust in one’s life is considered by many sages to be one of the signs of spiritual maturity.

Rumi: The Laziest Son …

by | Oct 11, 2016 | Blog, QuotePosts | 0 comments

Rumi uses many real life situations (stories) to convey deeper wisdom … here’s an entertaining story about “laziness” … that opens with:

As a man is dying he tells the town judge to give all his inheritance to only one of his three sons – the one who is the laziest! …  

There is a fascinating dialog, in the form of a somewhat long Rumi poem, between each of the three sons and the judge to determine who is the laziest …

… there are many gems in this long poem, e.g., the gift of silence, oneness, … and the value of unite vs divide – an issue most apropos to the current times in American society! …

Enjoy the story and it’s many “gems” … find out who is the “laziest?” … and, of course, the deeper meaning of this “laziness” …
