‘I am not of the East, nor of the West/Not of the land, not of the sea/Neither of this world, nor of the next/My place is placeless, my trace traceless.’ Rumi What the opening quote by Rumi hints at is that our true dwelling place does not exist in any physical location but [...]
I do not have to justify my quest for spirituality in physical terms. If you ask me to do so, it means that you understand nothing of spirituality.
