Companionship With the Holy - Rumi

[Guest guest]

Companionship With the Holy RumiDon't take a wooden sword into

battle. Go, find one of steel; then march forward with joy.The

saint's protection is Truth's sword: your time with him is worth as

much as the cup of life itself.All the wise have said the same: the

one who knows God is God's mercy to His creatures .....Companionship

with the holy makes you one of them. Though you're rock or marble,

you'll become a jewel when you reach the man of heart.Plant the love

of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to

anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.Don't go to the

neighborhood of despair: there is hope. Don't go in the direction of

darkness: suns exist.MATHNAWI 1, 714-717, 721-724(translated by Kabir
