"Умът и любовта са от различно тесто. Умът привързва човека и не се излага на никакви опасности, докато любовта разплита всички възли и излага на опасност всичко. Умът винаги е предпазлив и съветва: "Пази се от прекалено въодушевление!”, докато любовта казва "О, карай! Престраши се!" Умът не се прекършва лесно, докато любовта може в миг да се превърне в отломъци. Но именно сред развалините са скрити съкровища. Едно разбито сърце крие несметни богатства." "Ако искаш да укрепиш вярата си, трябва да омекнеш в сърцето си. За да бъде вярата ти твърда като скала, сърцето ти трябва да бъде меко като перце. Заради болест, злополука, загуба или уплаха по един или друг начин всички ние се изправяме пред неща, които ни учат как да станем по-малко себични и предубедени и по-състрадателни и великодушни. Въпреки това някои от нас усвояват урока и успяват да станат по-меки, докато други стават по-непреклонни и отпреди. Единственият начин да се доближиш до Истината е да разшириш сърцето си така, че то да обхване всичко човешко и в него пак да остане място за Любовта." "Живот без любов не е живот. Не се питай към каква любов се стремиш - духовна или материална, божествена или земна, източна или западна. Започнеш ли да делиш нещата, възниква ново и ново делене. Любовта няма етикети, няма определения. Тя просто е това, което е. Любовта е жива вода, а влюбеният е душа от огън! Светът се върти по друг начин, когато ОГЪНЯТ обикне ВОДАТА!" "Любовта на един мъж е отражение на характера му. Ако мъжът е сприхав, любовта му ще е пълна с кавги. Ако е спокоен и добър, любовта му е балсам. Ако се самосъжалява през цялото време, любовта му ще се превърне на прах. Ако е весел, любовта му ще прелива от веселие. Преди да хлътнеш по някоя жена, трябва да се запиташ каква любов можеш да й дадеш." "Красивите цветя се обират веднага и малцина обръщат внимание на бодливите растения. А истината е, че от тях се правят най-добрите лекове. Мигар не е същото и с градината на любовта? Как любовта може да бъде достойна за името си, ако избираме само красивото и загърбваме трудностите? Лесно е да се радваш на хубавото и да не харесваш лошото. Това го може всеки. Истинското предизвикателство е да обичаш едновременно и хубавото, и лошото, не защото без нощ няма ден, а защото трябва да надскочиш такива описания и да приемеш любовта в нейната цялост."

Saturday, 1 March 2014 - Posted By: Diana Nassar - In: Books - Comments: No comments Rumi - Shams Tabrizi and The Forty Rules of Love [4 of 4] And, the last part is there! After Part I, Part II, and Part III of this series, this post features the fourth and last set of "The Forty Rules of the Religion of Love" as set by Shams of Tabriz, the companion and spiritual instructor of Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi and as featured in the book The Forty Rules of Love: a Novel of Rumi by Turkish author Elif Shafak. Below are the fourth ten Rules of the Religion of Love: "If you want to strengthen your faith, you will need to soften inside. For your faith to be rock solid, your heart needs to be as soft as a feather. Through an illness, accident, loss, or fright, one way or another, we all are faced with incidents that teach us how to become less selfish and judgmental, and more compassionate and generous. Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming even harsher than before. The only way to get closer to Truth is to expand your heart so that it will encompass all humanity and still have room for more Love". "Nothing should stand between yourself and God. Not imams, priests, rabbis, or any other custodians of moral or religious leadership. Not spiritual masters, not even your faith. Believe in your values and your rules, but never lord them over others. If you keep breaking other people’s hearts, whatever religious duty you perform is no good. Stay away from all sorts of idolatry, for they will blur your vision. Let God and only God be your guide. Learn the Truth, my friend, but be careful not to make a fetish out of your truths". "While everyone in this world strives to get somewhere and become someone, only to leave it all behind after death, you aim for the supreme stage of nothingness. Live this life as light and empty as the number zero. We are no different from a pot. It is not the decorations outside but the emptiness inside that holds us straight. Just like that, it is not what we aspire to achieve but the consciousness of nothingness that keeps us going". "Submission does not mean being weak or passive. It leads to neither fatalism nor capitulation. Just the opposite. True power resides in submission - a power that comes from within. Those who submit to the divine essence of life will live in unperturbed tranquillity and peace even when the whole wide world goes through turbulence after turbulence". "In this world, it is not similarities or regularities that take us a step forward, but blunt opposites. And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Until the day one reaches the stage of Insan-i Kâmil, the perfect human being, faith is a gradual process and one that necessitates its seeming opposite: disbelief". "This world is erected upon the principle of reciprocity. Neither a drop of kindness nor a speck of evil will remain unreciprocated. Fear not the plots, deceptions, or tricks of other people. If somebody is setting a trap, remember, so is God. He is the biggest plotter. Not even a leaf stirs outside God’s knowledge. Simply and fully believe in that. Whatever God does, He does beautifully". "God is a meticulous clockmaker. So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time. Neither a minute late nor a minute early. And for everyone without exception, the clock works accurately. For each there is a time to love and a time to die". "It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?’ Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death". "While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes. For every Sufi who dies, another is born somewhere". "A life without love is of no account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western.… Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water".
