You Are Not Your Body; You Are

Rumi
You are not your body; you are the eye. when you see the spirit, you are free of the body. a human being is an eye – the rest is just flesh and bones. whatever your eye sees, you are that.

More From Rumi

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life! do not be concerned with escaping safely- lay your life before him!!
Life Pain Fighting
[b]ut it is only what happens, when they die, to all mortals. the sinews no longer hold the flesh and the bones together, and once the spirit has let the white bones, all the rest of the body is made subject to the fire's strong fury, but the soul flitters out like a dream and flies away.
Dream Strong White
Do not let your spirit be influenced by your body, or your body be influenced by your spirit. be neither insufficiently spirited or over spirited. an elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. do not let the enemy see your spirit.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.

Dear friends, let us not forget the flesh of christ which is in the flesh of refugees: their flesh is the flesh of christ. it is also your task to direct all the institutions working in the area of forced migration to new forms of co-responsibility. this phenomenon is unfortunately constantly spreading. hence your task is increasingly demanding in order to promote tangible responses of closeness, journeying with people, taking into account the different local backgrounds.
