Moving Water

When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

When actions come from another section,
the feeling disappears.

Don’t let others lead you.
They may be blind or, worse, vultures.

Reach for the rope of God. And what is that?
Putting aside self-will.

Because of willfulness people sit in jail,
the trapped bird’s wings are tied, fish sizzle in the skillet.

The anger of police is willfulness.
You’ve seen a magistrate inflict visible punishment.

Now see the invisible.

If you could leave your selfishness,
you would see how you’ve been torturing your soul.

We are born and live inside black water in a well.

How could we know what an open field of sunlight is?
Don’t insist on going where you think you want to go.

Ask the way to the spring.
Your living pieces will form a harmony.

There is a moving palace that floats in the air
with balconies and clearwater flowing through,
infinity everywhere,
yet contained under a single tent.

Rumi

    From what I understand, there is a bit of various relaxation and meditation technologies out there; brainwave entrainment, binuaral beats, isochronic tones, I think these can be of some use.

    I’ve been employing brainwave entrainment for a while now, but not had very much of success – could you propose someplace I can get quality CDs?

    Your perspective is good. I think that we should continue this way and see this happens.
