WORK IN THE INVISIBLE (by Rumi)
The prophets have wondered to themselves, “How long should we keep pounding  

this cold iron? How long do we have to whisper into an empty cage?” Every motion  

of created beings comes from the creator. The first soul pushes, and your second  

soul responds, beginning, so don't stay timid. Load the ship and set out. No one knows  

for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, “I'll  

do nothing until I can be sure.” Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose.  

Don't be one of those merchants who won't risk the ocean! This is much more important  

than losing or making money. This is your connection to God! You must set fire to have  

light. Trust means you're ready to risk what you currently have. Think of your fear and  

hope about your livelihood. They make you go to work diligently every day. Now  

consider what the prophets have done. Abraham wore fire for an anklet. Moses spoke  

to the sea. David molded iron. Solomon rode the wind. Work in the invisible world  

at least as hard as you do in the visible. Be companions with the prophets even though  

no one here will know that you are, not even the helpers of the qutb, the abdals. You  

can't imagine what profit will come! When one of those generous ones invites you  

into his fire, go quickly! Don't say, “But will it burn me? Will it hurt?”
