Blamelessness

When God wants to tear someone’s veil,

He inclines him toward speaking ill of holy ones.

When God wishes to cover over faults,

He keeps us from breathing even a word of blame.

When He wants to help us,

He bends us toward humble asking,

Heartache for His sake brings happiness.

Laughter will come after tears.

Whoever foresees this is a servant blessed by God.

Wherever water flows, life flourishes.

Wherever tears fall, Divine Mercy appears.

~ Jalaludin Rumi

from [Mathnawi I: 815-810]
The Rumi Daybook by Kabir and Camille Helminski

This world is a perfect orchestration of God’s will.

We have much to learn from the sounds played through our instruments.

If we can step out of our selves, we can see the whole symphony.

If we can drop into our hearts, we can be carried by the music,

our souls moved by the beauty of the song.

The choreography of life is from the creation of The One.

Every breath plays the perfect note.

Every movement expresses some aspect of love.

Pray to God to help us see

the truth, the beauty of

the Essence of The One.
