Hello and welcome to day six.

Today we will be looking at a short but powerful poem named Let Yourself Be Silently Drawn.

Today's practice is about listening,

Not to the world outside but to the subtle pull inside.

Rumi invites us to follow the path of what we truly love,

Even if we don't fully understand it yet.

This quiet pull is your compass.

Let's listen to it together.

Take a deep breath.

And let go.

Let yourself arrive now.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray.

We live in such a noisy world,

Full of advice,

Others' opinions,

Expectations.

But underneath it all,

There's a whisper that belongs only to you.

That whisper is love.

It's not loud,

It doesn't shout,

It doesn't try to convince.

It simply quietly calls.

In today's meditation,

We will practice attuning to that in the signal.

The quiet yes that lives beneath thought.

Begin by noticing your breath.

In and out.

Let it be soft.

Now drop that awareness into the body,

Into the chest,

The belly,

The back of your heart.

Imagine you are sitting beside a small stream.

Still.

Quiet.

And somewhere in that stillness,

You can hear something subtle.

A pull,

A direction,

A desire.

You don't need to name it.

Just feel it.

What draws you in this life?

Not what you should do,

But what do you quietly long for?

Now rest with that feeling,

Whatever arises.

Let it be enough.

Even if it seems a little unclear,

Just trust the direction.

You are being drawn for a reason.

Let that knowing rest in your heart.

Feel the breath move gently through you.

There's no effort.

Just quiet trust.

You don't need a map.

You just need to stay in touch with this movement.

With the stillness where the whisper lives.

Now let everything soften.

Rest in that space.

Behind language.

Silence where love lives.

Rumi writes,

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.

Know that pull is your path.

Let today be about trusting it.

Even if you can't yet put your finger on it or explain why.

Thank you so much for joining me again today.

Tomorrow we move on to our final day.

And we will be looking at the poem.

Come,

Come,

Whoever you are.

Until then,

Have a beautiful rest of your day.

Go in peace.

Namaste.
