  • Let go of your worries 
    and be completely clear-hearted, 
    like the face of a mirror 
    that contains no images. 
    If you want a clear mirror, 
    behold yourself 
    and see the shameless truth, 
    which the mirror reflects. 
    If metal can be polished 
    to a mirror-like finish, 
    what polishing might the mirror 
    of the heart require? 
    Between the mirror and the heart 
    is this single difference: 
    the heart conceals secrets, 
    while the mirror does not. 


                 --Rumi


    The name Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi stands for Love and ecstatic flight into the infinite. Rumi is one of the great spiritual masters and poetical geniuses of mankind and was the founder of the Mawlawi Sufi order, a leading mystical brotherhood of Islam.
