Life is so complicated ..or better we say that we we make it so complicated …just to quench the thirst of our never -ending desires. One day .. when I was pondering over some unfulfilled desires and wishes…that are still stinging …a cool breeze came from nowhere …in the form of some beautiful quotes that show me the way out to a calm serene world. And these are from “Rumi”, a persian poet, theologian and sufi mystic of 13th century. His timeless legacy of spiritual wisdom and poetic insight continue to resonate with the seekers of truth and lovers of beauty across cultures and generations.

Rumi unveils a profound truth about the human experiance.He metaphorically portrays sufferings, symbolized by the wound as a gateway to illumination and spiritual awakening.
