Excerpt
His old life died, and he was regenerated. Amazement fell upon him at that moment, For he was exalted above earth and heaven, An uplifting of the heart surpassing all uplifting; I cannot describe it; if you can, say on! Ecstasy and words beyond all ecstatic words; Immersion in the glory of the Lord of glory! Immersion wherefrom was no extrication, As it were identification with the Very Ocean!

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, the harper of his story, touched by grace, feels his old life die and is reborn in an amazement that words cannot describe, immersed in the glory of God as in an ocean. Today, let yourself be amazed at least once: a sky, a face, a kind gesture; stop, do not try to explain it, and simply thank the Lord.
