There Is A Candle In Your Heart

There is a candle in your heart,       ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul,       ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you? You feel the separation       from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up,       embrace the fire. Remind those who tell you otherwise that       Love       comes to you of its own accord,       and the yearning for it       cannot be learned in any school.

From: ‘Hush Don’t Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi’ Translated by Sharam Shiva
