The essence of equanimity. A favourite.

Life explained so simply yet deeply by Rumi... hallmarks of a classical great that he was. Enjoyed the verses thoroughly.

A lesson in humanity.....Enjoyed reading!

It is interesting to know how a personality develops as well as how it influences the way people around think and behave. The body is the house of the soul. In ''De Anima'', Aristotle wrote, “whether all affections are common to what has the soul or whether there is some affection peculiar to the soul itself.” - Wonderful poem- voted 10.

This is a beautiful teaching from Mewlana. Akin to teachings in Jungian psychology of embracing all aspects of yourself. Thank you.

It is so nice and thoughtful of the ph team to select Rumi as the poet of the day. And the best poem they have selected from his treasures to host here. Charming. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. Typical of the Great Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi. Immensely happy that his poems are on ph forever to read and re-read!
