Sacredness | Rumi Poem

This poem opens the heart to the inner fire of awakening. Through Rumi’s words, we are reminded that the divine breath moves within us, dissolving pain, illusion, and weariness. As consciousness expands, we remember our true essence, a living spark of the sacred.
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.

Something opens our wings, Something makes boredom and hurt disappear, Someone fills the cup in front of us. We taste only sacredness.
