More From Rumi

The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this. irritations set into his shell. he does not like them. but when he cannot get ride of them, he uses the irritation to do the loveliest thing an oyster ever has a chance to do. if there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one prescription: make a pearl. it may have to be a pearl of patience, but anyhow, make a pearl. and it takes faith and i love to do it.

Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Wisdom Looks Pearls
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Whenever i find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly november in my soul; whenever i find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral i meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, i account it high time to get to sea as soon as i can.
Depression Strong Hands
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? if you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Hands Sea Breathing
