discourse 37<strong>Rumi</strong> said: The stories that have been spreadagainst this girl are lies and should go no further.But I can see that even though we may put asidethese rumors as false, something has settled in theimagination. Our imagination and heart are like avestibule—thoughts first enter the vestibule, thenthey move into the house.This whole world is like one house, and everyimage that lodges in our deepest thoughts mustappear and become visible in the house. Forinstance, this house in which we are seated—theform <strong>of</strong> it first became visible in the heart <strong>of</strong> thearchitect, then this house came into being.Imagination, daydreams and thoughts are thevestibule <strong>of</strong> this house. Whatever you see enteringthe vestibule, know that one day it will becomevisible in the house. And all these things, goodand evil alike that you see in the world today, allfirst appeared in the vestibule before becomingvisible here.
