is in love...

I'm in love, not only but also, with a person who lived many many years ago. His name is Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī, also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī. Yup, you guessed right! I'm talking about the mystic writer popularly known as Rumi. His words to me are magical, mystical, fascinating, enchanting, awe-inspiring. To really reach their depths, merely using one's intellect doesn't suffice, it takes as much of our being as possible. In having done this so many times, I felt love.

‎"In generosity and helping others
  BE LIKE THE RIVER
In compassion and grace
BE LIKE THE SUN
In concealing others’ faults
BE LIKE THE NIGHT
In anger and fury
BE LIKE THE DEAD
In modesty and humility
BE LIKE THE EARTH
In tolerance
BE LIKE THE SEA
EITHER EXIST AS YOU ARE
OR BE AS YOU LOOK.”
~Rumi
