The only thing worthy of pursuit is wisdom
To know thyself intimately
Is to know others intimately
Wisdom allows us to see ourselves
In others, and to see others in us
Knowledge alone cannot bestow wisdom
There must be a journey inside
Into the shadows and the darkness
Where everything that has been left unattended
Must be met and welcomed home
Wisdom is the grail the warrior seeks
It cannot be attained
Without meeting yourself
And letting go of the world
Mind alone cannot reach wisdom
Mind and experience
The putting down of ego’s strategies
And the great descent, and rise,
Into humility
Opens the door to this great chamber
It cannot be reached by looking outwards
But only by the journey inwards.

I was trying to purchase some of your CDs on YouTube yesterday but I was having a little trouble doing so. I’m going to try again this week when I have a little more time! The songs from Rumi’s poetry… beautiful!

Don’t do that! I don’t have those albums on CD, and anyway you can’t buy my music from Youtube I don’t think!
