Gems from the Turkish poet Rumi!

What is poison?
Anything which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be power, wealth, hunger, ego, greed, laziness, love, ambition, hate or anything.

What is fear?
Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes an adventure.

What is envy?
Non-acceptance of the good in others. If we accept that good, it becomes an inspiration.

What is anger?
Non-acceptance of things which are beyond our control. If we accept that, it becomes our tolerance.

What is hatred?
Non-acceptance of a person as he is. If we accept that person unconditionally, it becomes love.
