Worry not

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim

Prison Break - break your ego

Let go of your worries
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself
and see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
What polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:
the heart conceals secrets,
while the mirror does not

Rumi - The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII

Rasulullah s.a.w once said: "Surely, in the breast of humanity is a lump of flesh, if sound then the whole body is sound, and if corrupt, then the whole body is corrupt. Is it not the heart?"
[Hadis 6: Koleksi Hadis 40 Imam Nawawi (Matan arba'in)]

wallahua'lam
segala puji hanya bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam
