A Voice Through The Door | Rumi Poem

In this poem by Rumi, our voice in the silence calls us to return to our essence , urging a shift from childish burdens toward spiritual maturity. As we read the book of our life, we are invited to cross into the unknown, where each question deepens our awakening

Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, popularly known as "Rumi", is a 13th-century Sufi poet. Today, he is recognised as one of the greatest poets who ever lived, due in part to how his words seem to speak to the divine.

Transcript

Sometimes, You hear a voice through the door, Calling you. As fish out of water hear the waves. Or a hunting falcon hears the drums, Come back, Come back. This turning toward what you deeply love saves you. Children fill their shirts with rocks and carry them around. We are not children anymore. Read the book of your life which has been given you. A voice comes to your soul saying, Lift your foot, Cross over, Move into the emptiness of question and answer and question.
