A Life Without Love is a Waste

A life without love is a waste. “Should I look for spiritual love, or material, or physical love?”, don’t ask yourself this question. Discrimination leads to discrimination. Love doesn’t need any name, category or definition. Love is a world itself. Either you are in, at the center…either you are out, yearning.

~ Shams Tabrizi (Rumi's beloved teacher)

Richard Gammon There is a beautiful novel -"The forty rules of Love" about Rumi and Shams. I have the Masnavi (Rumi poetry) at home - great stuff. We are all part of the great something :)smile

Love is all we came here for.
 Do you kinow what I mean, have your eyes really seen?
 Love is ll we came her for, love is the open ended door.
 Nobody could offer you more. Love is all we came here for.
Do you know what I mean, love is all we came here for.
Have your eyes really seen? Elton John

The inspiration you seek
is already within you.
Be silent and listen.
