Rumi - Live in Silence

This silence,
this moment,
every moment,
if it’s genuinely inside you,
brings what you need.
There’s nothing to believe.
Only when I stopped
believing in myself
did I come into this beauty.
Sit quietly,
and listen for a voice
that will say,
‘Be more silent.’
Die and be quiet.
Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.
Your old life
was a frantic running
from silence.
Move outside
the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.
