Although I am nothing in comparison with the birds of the path, I speak of them, and that is all. In the end, the dust of this caravan will reach me, and from those beings who have departed, love will come to me.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Attar, at the end of his book, the poet calls himself very small beside the “birds of the path”, those seekers of God whose journey he has told, but he hopes that one day the dust of their caravan will reach him and that their love will come to him. Today, think of an inspiring person who went before you on the path of goodness, and let their example guide one of your actions.
