Learning the scriptures by rote only leads to a darkening of the heart; I did not darken my heart. On the path of Truth, I stayed away from words and I illumined my heart.""Illumined with what?" He answered, "With love." Similarly, Shams-e-Tabreez is said t have taught Rumi to love God with his heart and not with his mind. Thus he said to Rumi, "Leave everything; enough of verse and dogma. Now let your heart be kindled with the fire of love! Now illumine your heart withtheglow of love's fire." You too burn in the fire of divine love.But know that this fire cannot be sourcedfrom outside. You have to kindle it within and 'you' yourself have to burn in this fire-nobody else can do it for you. Just as a small spark burns down a whole house and even the goods inside, similarly a small spark of divine love is enough to annihilate your mind of all its desires,jealousy and lust. No one knows how and to whom it happens, but whenever and wherever it does there cannot be a bigger blessing than this!
