What does Rumi mean by Reality with a capital R? It is that which lies beyond our senses. We love our senses. In fact, they are necessary for out survival, and make life pleasurable. Imagine what life would be like without our sight, smell, taste, hearing and touching. We can't. But we have many inner senses as well, insight, if you will. Our other sense, which some call proprioception, senses and knows that we have something called the soul; love, the all pervading, is invisible, though we may give it names and images. The energy most call God is sensed though not seen. Rumi calls this Reality the Invisible.
How do you knock on this Invisible door? By turning to it, by remembering it, by worshipping and adoring it. Even if you knock just once, gently, The Invisible, that hears unsaid things, will respond.
