Quote of the day by Rumi: “If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.” There are some words that feel relevant no matter how much time has passed, and this quote by Rumi is one of them. “If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.”
The line offers a striking way of thinking about the emotional clutter that can slowly build inside us. Hurt, resentment, jealousy, fear, anger and disappointment can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Rumi, the celebrated Persian poet and Sufi mystic of the 13 century, in his quote of the day does not suggest that the heart may simply need to be cleared and cared for.
