A Mine of Rubies - Deep Rumi Poem

In our modern day life—with its numerous distractions, tasks, and responsibilities—it's easy to disconnect with God and take steps back on our spiritual journey.

There are a lot of tools at our disposal—such as meditation, yoga, prayer, mindfulness, etc.—that can help us reconnect with God, but one tool for spirituality awakening that is often forgotten is spiritual poetry.

This is especially true with the love poetry of Rumi, whose ancient wisdom on awakening provides such a clear roadmap for how to get closer to God—perhaps even more so today than when first shared with the world nearly 800 years ago.

"A Mine of Rubies" is an inspirational poem that will foster your spiritual growth and awaken the divine love within you. While not as known as some of Rumi's other famous love poems, this poem is—like its title—a mine of rubies when it comes to love poetry related to God.

If you're a fan of Rumi poetry & spiritual poetry, or just want to raise your spiritual awareness and achieve awakening, this video is for you.

Full poem:

Last night I learned how to be a lover of God,
To live in this world and call nothing my own.

I looked inward
and the beauty of my own emptiness
filled me till dawn.

It enveloped me like a mine of rubies.
Its hue clothed me in red silk.

Within the cavern of my soul
I heard the voice of a lover crying,
"Drink now! Drink now!"—

I took a sip and saw the vast ocean—
Wave upon wave caressed my soul.

The lovers of God dance around
And the circle of their steps
becomes a ring of fire round my neck.

Heaven calls me with its rain and thunder—
a hundred thousand cries
yet I cannot hear...

All I hear is the call of my Beloved.

~ Rumi
