Video Information: Acharya Prashant Ji speaking at a Shabd Yoga session at Advait Bodhsthal, Noida on 9th September, 2017<br /><br />Poem:<br />SHADOW AND LIGHT SOURCE BOTH<br />by RUMI<br /><br />How does a part of the world leave the world?<br />How does wetness leave water?<br />Don’t try to put out fire by throwing on more fire!<br />Don't wash a wound with blood.<br />No matter how fast you run,<br />your shadow keeps up.<br />Sometimes it's in front!<br />Only full overhead sun diminishes your shadow.<br />But that shadow has been serving you.<br />What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.<br /><br />I could explain this, but it will break the glass cover on your heart, and there's no fixing that.<br /><br />You must have shadow and light source both.<br />Listen, and lay your head under the tree of awe.<br /><br />When from that tree feathers and wings sprout on you, be quieter than a dove.<br /><br />Don't even open your mouth for even a coo.
