Don’t Grieve

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Don’t grieve. Anything you lose, comes round in another form.
Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah … it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?

The wound is the place where the light enters you. (Rumi)

When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. Imam Ali AS

Al-Hadid (Iron) 57:23
لِكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلَى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ
[Know this,] so that you may not despair over whatever [good] has escaped you nor exult [unduly] over whatever [good] has come to you: for, God does not love any of those who, out of self-conceit, act in a boastful manner.
Agar Kho Gya Ek Nasheeman To Kya Gham
Maqamat-e-Aah-o-Faghan Aur Bhi Hain

What is the worry if one nest is lost?
There are other places to sigh and cry for!

Hazrat Yousuf AS was 17, when his brothers throw him in the well and then sold him as slave. When he saw his brothers first time after 22 years of separation. Now he was 39. Now they were poor and looking for food and Hazrat Yousuf AS was Prime Minister of Egypt. Do you would think, Hazrat Yousuf AS would want to get revenge. The truth is he was so grateful to see them, he was overwhelmed with emotion. Brothers couldn't recognize him. Eventually he told them who he was and they all wept together. He asked if their father was still alive? They said that he was. It took more two years when Hazrat Yaqoob AS with all his family moved to Egypt and after 17 years living together Hazrat Yaqoob AS died at the age of 147. He was 91 when Hazrat Yousuf AS was born.
His fellow prisoner forgot to mention to Aziz e Egypt for 7 years, when he returned back one night. He was mentioning that he forgot, Hazrat Yousuf AS was saying, 'Don't worry, that's fine'.
