More From Rumi

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.
Hands Sorrow Able
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
One third, more or less, of all the sorrow that the person i think i am must endure is unavoidable. it is the sorrow inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time, through a world wholly indifferent to our well-being, toward decrepitude and the certainty of death. the remaining two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Thinking Two Self
The people who get more fame, who get more money, more often than not they are miserable, insecure and on anti-depressants. it's strange that everyone keeps buying into this idea that more success is good, that more fame is good, that more money is good. yet, we look at the people who have more success, more fame, more money and they're miserable.
Insecure Ideas People
Ought we not, from time to time, open ourselves up to cosmic sadness? ... give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself that is its due, for if everyone bears his grief honestly and courageously, the sorrow that now fills the world will abate. but if you do not clear a decent shelter for your sorrow, and instead reserve most of the space inside you for hatred and thoughts of revenge-from which new sorrows will be born for others-then sorrow will never cease in this world and will multiply.
Revenge Grief Sadness
Please don't wait until the doctors tell you that you are going to have a baby to begin to take care of it. it is already there. whatever you are, whatever you do, your baby will get it. anything you eat, any worries that are on your mind will be for him or her. can you tell me that you cannot smile? think of the baby, and smile for him, for her, for the future generations. please don't tell me that a smile and your sorrow just don't go together. it's your sorrow, but what about your baby? it's not his sorrow, its not her sorrow.

From the right, you get demagogues shouting about brown-skinned anchor babies and clamoring to deport the undocumented. from the left, you get advocacy for the oppressed but otherwise, when it comes to national civic identity, mainly silence.

I gave you a wrist watch, baby, and you wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Baby Giving Rejection
Dear baby, i hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. they don't pull away. they don't look at your face. they don't try to kiss you. all they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it.
