Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor. ~ Rumi

Today I followed Rumi's advice. Was playing in a poker game and had to call $65 more on a draw. I lost.

Fuck Rumi! :shakefist:

Having to make the call is not exhibiting free will.  More like expensive and a lack of a will.

If you want what visible reality
can give, you're an employee.

If you want the unseen world,
you're not living your truth.

Both wishes are foolish,
but you'll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love's confusing joy.

:shineon:

Gamble everything for love,
if you're a true human being.

If not, leave
this gathering.

Half-heartedness doesn't reach
into majesty. You set out
to find God, but then you keep
stopping for long periods
at mean-spirited roadhouses.



--Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks, A. J. Arberry)

I gambled on love and lost Big Time! The queen of hearts is not always your best bet. :nono:

You're not being thoroughgoing enough in follwing Rumni's injunction. You are interpreting the 65$ loss as not being in your favor. Rumi says: Don't call anything that happens unfavorable. One day it dawns on you that favorable and unfavorable are just an arbitrary spins on an actuality that is utterly beyond such designations.

In that case his saying is meaningless. :ohwell:

In the middle of the night,
I cried out,
                "Who lives in this love
I have?"
            You said, "I do, but I'm not here
alone. Why are these other images
with me?"
                I said, "They are reflections of you,
just as the beautiful inhabitants of Chigil
in Turkestan resemble each other."

You said, "But who is this other living
being?"
            "That is my wounded soul."
Then I brought that soul
to you as a prisoner.
                              "This one is dangerous,"
I said. "Don't let him off easy."

You winked and gave me one end
of a delicate thread.
                              "Pull it tight,
but don't break it."
                            I reached my hand
to touch you. You struck it down.

"Why are you so harsh with me?"

"For good reason. But certainly not
to keep you away! Whoever enters this place
saying Here I am must be slapped.

This is not a pen for sheep.

There are no separating distances here.
This is love's sanctuary.

Saladin is how the soul looks. Rub your eyes,
and look again with love at love."

I Have Learned So Much

I
Have
Learned
So much from Love
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.


- Hafiz


--------------------
zen by age ten times six hundred lifetimes
Light up the darkness.
