The Rumi Prescription Quotes

“I do know this: to live well, we can never stop learning. The moment we quit and insist we know it all, we’re screwed. After all, that’s the recipe for fundamentalism: mix a ton of pride, a gallon of ignorance, and a bucket of insecurity with a cup of a simple answer you’ve convinced yourself is right for everything and everyone, then add hefty fistfuls of fear until . . . voilà! Instant fundamentalist.
Where fundamentalism perpetuates crass imitation, mysticism invites creative invention. Where fundamentalists seek to shrink their God through hostility and conformity, mystics seek to expand theirs through love and ingenuity.”
