To know love is to know pain

Rekha Sahay

Heartsick, heartbroken —

To know love is to know pain.

What could be more common?

Even so, each broken heart is so singular

That with it we probe the Divine.”

❤ ❤ Rumi

  2. Dear Rekha, as a passionate Rumi lover, have you ever read the book ” Forty rules of Love” written by Elif Shafak? It tells the story how Rumi and Shams of Tabriz have met and much more. A wordpress friend Kamal , had recommended it to me, I must say that it has been the most loving literature of what I had read. Enjoy

    1. yes dear , i have read the book . I would like to share with you my personal experience –
      i read Rumis’ quotes many times Before . But it had a different effect on me when i was facing some serious issues in my life n at the same time lost my fathe , I was very close to him.
      Then i started understanding the deep meaning of Rumi ‘ s messages. 😊
      Thanks a lot Cornelia for being so caring dear . Lots of love .

  3. I love Rumi, dear Rekha Sahay

    Rumi got the inner contact with the Almighty, the contact with the inner sound and light and so he was able to go beyond the body consciousness.

    Thanks for sharing
    All good wishes for your soul
