Every midwife knows
that not until a mother’s womb
softens from the pain of labor
will a way unfold
and the infant find that opening to be born.
Oh friend!
There is treasure in your heart,
it is heavy with child.
Listen.
All the awakened ones,
like trusted midwives are saying,
‘welcome this pain.
It opens the dark passage of Grace.
❤ ❤ Rumi
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
If you are distressed by anything external,
the pain is not due to the thing itself,
but to your estimate of it;
and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
~~ Marcus Aurelius
“Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain.
until your eyes constantly exhale love,
as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.”
❤ Jamaluddin Rumi
बहुत खामोशी ……
अौर
हर पल मुस्कराता चेहरा…………
कभी गौर से देखो,
गर पढ़ सको………
तब दिखेगा,
यह तो दर्द का आईना है।
Where there is pain, the cure will come.
~ Rumi
जब छोटी थी, बङे-बङे सपने देखा करती,
अब पहले की छोटी-छोटी बातें याद आती हैं।
खुशियों अौ गम के खेल में यह समझ आया,
ये सब आती -जाती रहती है
अौर
कोई ना कोई सबक दे कर जाती हैं।
Even when you tear its petals off one after another,
the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain.
“Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn?
It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.”
Whatever you lost through fate,
be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
