Jalaluddin Rumi was a 13th century Persian mystic and poet. Today we know him simply as Rumi. Here then, in this poem, he brings us a light experience. Thank you, Rumi.
There is a candle in your heart...
There is a candle in your heart,
ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul,
ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?
You feel the separation
from the Beloved.
Invite Him to fill you up,
embrace the fire.
Remind those who tell you otherwise that
Love
comes to you of its own accord,
and the yearning for it
cannot be learned in any school.
~Rumi
