with our one cry of “O my Lord!” come a hundred cries of “Here I am.” RUMI



How foolish we are to think we are alone! Help is at hand. The Friend waits for us to turn to Him/Her, and as Bhai Gurdas says: for every step we take towards the Friend, the Friend takes a million. Lala, the female saint from Kashmir, too, says the same thing. We have only to trust our inner sense to know this. Don't rely on the brain to give you any assurance, solace. It is a very small part of us. Neither Rumi nor Guru Nanak trust it. They know that emotional knowledge is far superior than intellectual certainty.
