The Rose and the Nightingale
Rumi said: “When a nightingale comes upon a rose, how can it remain silent?”
How can your heart remain silent in the moment when you touch that space in such a profound way? The rose is the symbol of the heart. How can the heart not communicate its beauty to the nightingale? It is impossible.
You know, when two such beautiful aspects meet, there is only one possibility and that is communication. That is where the subtle energies, the unconscious, understand that you have opened the channel. And when you open the channel in this way, you don’t have to do anything; things flow without the assistance of your mind, without the assistance of your emotions or your ego or your judgments, or all the things that you know. You simply open up to the song and it’s beautiful.
Have you heard the song of a nightingale? It touches everyone. So your actions don’t only speak to you, but they’re a beautiful song that can be heard forever. Forever. Eternity. It’s a song that never disappears.
That is why the Divine created the unknown. Because the Divine loves the mystical sounds of beauty. And that is what we are here to create. We’re not here to sit and ask these questions, which come from the mind. We’re here to come back to that beautiful aspect of ourselves. And we don’t have much time. Don’t waste it.
Remember, every time you’re lost in the superficial, in the known, in the ego games, in the mind games, in the emotions; remind yourself – what is of real value right now?
How, in this moment, can I open myself to the heart, to the rose within my heart, to communicate the deeper aspects?
Don’t read books; don’t waste time speaking, creating dramas or other structures. Come back to the Divine structure within your heart and let go of all those aspects, all those old structures that have maintained misery and suffering throughout history.
You have the chance to change this. The Divine has created this moment in time. It is a very powerful moment, where there is only one way and that way is that you completely let go. Completely let go of what is known, what is safe, and move into the space of beauty.
