Excerpt
Enlighten the world's six sides with its six parts, That it may illuminate him who is not illuminated! Love has naught to do with five senses or six sides, Its only aim is to be attracted to the Beloved!

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, who here offers the sixth part of his Masnavi so that it may enlighten “the world’s six sides” (the six directions: up, down, front, back, right, left), love cannot be confined to the senses or to space: it has only one aim, to be drawn toward God, the Beloved. Today, take a moment with your eyes closed, without trying to see or locate anything, and simply let your heart turn toward what it loves most.
