Rule 33

While everyone in this world strives to get somewhere and become someone, only to leave it all behind after death, you aim for the supreme stage of nothingness. Live this life as light and empty as the number zero. We are no different from a pot. It is not the decorations outside but the emptiness inside that holds us straight. Just like that, it is not what we aspire to achieve but the consciousness of nothingness that keeps us going.

40 rules of love...
The most magical book I've ever read....

[mrstarboyk]

Speechless I am. It really taps into the souls. Whats ironic here is only 1.4 k people have watched it, whereas crape vulgar abusive so called funny content by illiterate self proclaimed artists draws millions of viewers. Probably this is how it’s supposed to be, the exceptional content is to be consumed only by the exceptional people, not the ordinary majority.

OMG...HER VOICE HYPNOTIZED THE SOUL....

[syedhassansarfraz]

What she read i just read today....
The FRoL is a book I never forget, , I literally have no words to praise her neither her writing, , for me she's also a mystic writer 🙂

[faathee]

I Loved reading the book!
She is an incredible writer.
I lived the book. Experienced the words.
They shook me. The events were so unexpected that made me sob like crazy.
Of course the influence was because it's about Rumi.
Rumi has great influence over me.

Oh, the essence of the book is imprinted in me.
