"Since you are not a prophet, follow..." - Quote by Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets.Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King.Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship.Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business.Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.

“When you no longer are compelled by desire and fear . . . when you have seen the radiance in eternity from all forms of time . . . when you follow your bliss . . . doors will open where you would not have thought there were doors . . . and the world will step in and help.”
