Keys Joy Having Patience

More From Rumi

Our intention to regard the closing of the straits as a casus belli was communicated...to the foreign ministers of those states which had supported international navigation in the straits in 1957 and thereafter. there can be no doubt that these warnings reached cairo. one thing was now clear. if nasser imposed a blockade, the explosion would ensue not from 'miscalculation', but from an open-eyed and conscious readiness for war.
War Doubt Cairo
Practice patience; it is the essence of praise. have patience, for that is true worship. no other worship is worth as much. have patience; patience is the key to all relief.

Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. when the illustrious buddha taught about the world, he had to divide it into samsara and nirvana, illusion and truth, into suffering and salvation. one cannot do otherwise, there is no other method for those who teach. but the world itself, being in and around us, is never one-sided. never is a man or a deed wholly samsara or wholly nirvana; never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. this only seems so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real.

The mold in which a key is made would be a strange thing, if you had never seen a key: and the key itself a strange thing if you had never seen a lock. your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions. your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it -- made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.

But his lordship [tells]us that god is wholly here, and wholly there, and wholly every where; because he has no parts. i cannot comprehend nor conceive this. for methinks it implies also that the whole world is also in the whole god, and in every part of god. norcan i find anything of this in the scripture. if i could find it there, i could believe it; and if i could find it in the public doctrine of the church, i could easily abstain from contradicting it.

The gloomy theology of the orthodox--the calvinists--i do not, i cannot believe. many of the notions--nay, most of the notions--which orthodox people have of the divinity of the bible, i disbelieve. i am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.

What is it the bible teaches us? - raping, cruelty, and murder. what is it the new testament teaches us? - to believe that the almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married, and the belief of this debauchery is called faith.

The pleasure of rooting for goliath is that you can expect to win. the pleasure of rooting for david is that, while you don’t know what to expect, you stand at least a chance of being inspired.
