Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place. Shams Tabrizi
Poems
If you keep breaking other’s people hearts, whatever religious duty you perform is for no use. Shams Tabrizi
What must come, comes. Face everything with love, as your mind dissolves in God. Lalla (Mystic Lady from Kashmir, XIV century)
If you find Me not within you, you will never find Me. For I have been with you, from the beginning of Me. Rumi
You are so weak. Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave till it gets to shore. You need more help than you know. Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
Toss aside your map of the world, All your beliefs and constructs. Dare the wild unknown. Here in this terrifying freedom, Naked before the universe, Commune with the One Who knows everything from the inside: Invisible power pervading everywhere. Divine Presence permeating everything.
