Gems from the Turkish poet RUMI

Wisdom of RUMI

 1.What is poison?
Anything which is more than our necessity is poison.
It may be Power, Wealth, Hunger, Ego, Greed, Laziness,conditional Love, Ambition, Hate or Anything.

2.What is fear?
Non-Acceptance of Uncertainty.
If we accept the Uncertainty, it becomes Adventure.

3. What is envy?
Non Acceptance of Good in Others.
If we Accept That Good, it becomes Inspiration.

4. What is anger?
Non Acceptance of Things which are beyond our control.
If we accept, it becomes Tolerance.

5. What is hatred?
Non-Acceptance of a Person as he/she is
If we accept a person unconditionally, it becomes Love.

WHO deserves my LOYALTY and DEVOTION ?

Today I had a discussion with my grad school friends, regarding an international political situation .Which involves the justice system and celebrities. I felt like, that I had some clarity on the topic from my perspective and shared the following opinion with them. This is how it went... 'I believe that we had a similar discussion in the past, about the public figures and celebrities...' We fail to make a clear distinction between ones performance as a celebrity and their personal values for life, as an individual. The quality of the person as a fellow Human being. Not how they look or how they talk , not just the similarities we are looking for , but as to know who they actually are at a human level. For most of them, we do not know much of their real self. We only know what they project themselves as or what media shows them to be. So I do not show blind devotion to a person even if they are great at their job, no matter how rich, famous and powerful they are.
