Excerpt
The love of the soul is for life and the Living One, Because its origin is the Soul not bound to place. The love of the soul is for wisdom and knowledge, That of the body for houses, gardens, and vineyards; The love of the soul is for things exalted on high, That of the body for acquisition of goods and food.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, the body loves what comes from the earth, houses, gardens, food, while the soul, born of heaven, loves life, wisdom and God, the Living One, from whom it comes. Today, give your soul its nourishment: take a few minutes to read a word of wisdom or to pray, just as you take time to eat.
