Knowing how to live your life is tied to knowing yourself. All essentials you need to live a happy and purposeful life reside inside you, and you do not need anything from outside to live that life you are dreaming about. Life is like a painting. Every minor stroke of a brush is required to complete that painting. Every decision we make in our life goes toward finishing that painting.
Knowing yourself is knowing God. Rumi’s religious doctrine is man’s divinity. We are part of universal intelligence, and we all have the fundamental elements of the universe. “You are not a drop of the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
We can reach wisdom and happiness once we became aware of the Source’s energy inside us. Love is the vehicle that takes us to this hidden part of ourselves to unleash the power within. Striving to reach this universal power is fundamental to knowing how to live our lives.
“If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer and always have been. Didn’t you know?”
Self-doubt is the primary reason we do not fulfill our dreams. Our job is to believe that our plan will materialize, but we do not know when. We will acquire wisdom and happiness once we realize the potential that exists within us.
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
If we believe that we are part of the Universe intelligence, we will fully realize our potential and live a happy and fulfilled life.
“Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript of the Universal intelligent. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you; look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.”
