As we journey towards compassion, we experience our Essence.
We don’t lose our personality—we actually gain a purer form of personality—experiencing flow, awe and peak experiences.
Rumi’s transcendent poems capture our Nine Essence Qualities.
Point One “Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I’ll meet you there.” - Rumi
Point Two “The whole universe is contained within a single human being – you.” - Rumi
Point Three “You have no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.” - Rumi
Point Four “When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.” - Rumi
Point Five “My words are like a ship, and the sea is their meaning. Come to me and I will take you to the depths of spirit. I will meet you there.” - Rumi
Point Six “When you do things from your Soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” - Rumi
Point Seven “Gratitude is the wine of the Soul. Go on. Get drunk.” - Rumi
Point Eight “Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.” - Rumi
Point Nine “Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in their personality: They are free.” - Rumi
Our Essence reflects our inner knowing that we are connected with all of life.
