Good morning friends
I just came across a Rumi quote, ” What you seek is seeking you “
Rumi was a great philosopher, but more importantly, he was a poet at heart. So all his writings are poetic and they are straight from his heart or should I say, straight from his soul….
Whenever I come across a Rumi quote, I can recognise it as his because of this poetic quality. And that’s why, even though I have read only a few of his poems, I am in love with his writing.
All of his quotes have such a profound depth….there are layers and layers of meaning hidden in the depths of his poems and it’s so satisfying to find the deepest meaning.
What you seek is seeking you—- when I read this, it gave me goosebumps !
If what I am seeking is also seeking me, then what should I be seeking? Money, fame, prestige, a bigger house, material wealth or wealth far beyond all that… ? If it’s certain that we get what we seek, should I seek just worldly pleasures or pleasures on another scale altogether?
The question and its obvious answer brought tears to my eyes, so now I know what I am seeking. As Rumi promises, the same treasure will be seeking me too, if my desire is strong enough…. I only need to wait patiently till it finds me.
Hope that we all focus on seeking everlasting treasures,
Love,
Anjali
