Resurrection

"When you grow up, your childhood dies.
When sorrow becomes joy, the thorn of sorrowfulness does not remain.
This mystery is understood only by dying, not by using one's reason.
Do thou then, become the spiritual resurrection, and thereby see and experience the resurrection...
Until you become it, you will not know it completely, whether it be light or darkness.
If you become reason, you will know reason perfectly.; if you become Love, you will know Love's flaming fire."

Rumi (Vol.6, 739-758)

Commentary. Happy Easter! We are invited to know a joy that will last forever.
