Silence...

"Abandon eminence and worldly energy and skill: what matters is service rendered to God, and a goodly disposition...
The heart that has seen a sweetheart, how should it remain bitter? When a nightingale has seen the rose, how should it remain silent?
To a friend, when you are seated besides your Friend, a hundred thousand tablets of mystery are made known.
My Companions are like the stars...
The star shows the way in the desert and on the sea: fix your eye on the spiritual Star, for he is the One to be followed.
Keep your eyes always focused on His face: do not stir up dust by way of discussion and argument,
Because the Star will be hidden by that dust: the eye is better than the stumbling tongue.
Be silent, in order that the One may speak, whose innermost garment is Divine inspiration, which settles the dust, and does not stir up trouble."

Rumi (Vol.6, 2500-2647)

Commentary: Today's challenging assignment: be silent (again), offer your service to God, and attempt a good disposition.
