Why do you stay in prison? ~Rumi

 


Prison indicates our personality.  The personality is like a tight compartment.  It is really suffocating and restricting free movement. Yet, we are unable to get out of it.  The love for prison is what obstructs us to see the door.  Actually, we are not locked up and it is not at all difficult to get out of it. The door is wide open.  Just, we need to get up and walk out. 

But, you know, having lived long inside the prison, we have developed a bond, an attachment with it.  This is "my" prison, "my" house.  I am safe and comfortable inside.   May be, I can try to decorate it, renovate it, why should I leave?  Who knows what lies outside?  

This is how, we continue to live in the prison.  The door is wide open.  It is inviting.  Faith is needed.   Yes, Step out with faith. 

Freedom is only for brave ones.
