Rumi’s Nuptial Night on Dec. 17, 1273

Darvish has always inspired me. He brings those elements on a blog which always have and will move me. Sufi poetry, Mystic writings and basically things that link me to Allah. In fact, I am in such a mood that when I reach his blog to find something rebellious, even that inspires me to take the opposite direction from that and move towards the right path, even closer to Allah. Hats off to you friend. I guess not many people realize that element of Sufism. Aziz Mian did that to me many times. People call him blasphemous at times but look beyond the obvious and you would realize the eventual impact his words have on the listener.

Anyway, here is Darvish's recent entry Rumi’s Nuptial Night - Dec. 17, 1273 which did it yet again for me. I have not been a book reader somehow even though I would love to. Hence it was the first time that I learnt what was written on Rumi's tombstone.

"When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men."

That is pretty much my motto in life also. I want to leave with my impression left on this world. There is so much that one can do and not enough time. But that shouldn't stop us from not even trying. Each one of us is here in this world for a reason. Find that reason. Each one of us has something that is different or unique about us. Find that element. That is what you have to use to give back to this world, to leave that unique thumb-print. Something that you would be remembered for.
