Rumi

Love, the life-giving garden of this world.

When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for _x000D_ one breath, in that moment you will find your true destiny. _x000D_ Alas, don't spoil this precious moment. _x000D_ Moments like this are very, very rare.

This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'Be more silent.' Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.

And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.

He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels; he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.

Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.

Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.

I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?

Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.

When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.

If you yearn for holy felicity, _x000D_ shed your arrogance and Become A Seeker Of Hearts.

The moon has become a dancer _x000D_ at this festival of LOVE.

Wash the dust from your SOUl and HEART with wisdom's WATER.

Let soul speak with the silent articulation of a face.

Looking at my life _x000D_ I see that only Love _x000D_ Has been my soul’s companion _x000D_ From deep inside _x000D_ My soul cries out: _x000D_ Do not wait, surrender _x000D_ For the sake of Love.

I cannot sleep in your presence In your absence, tears prevent me you watch me my beloved on each sleepiness night and Only you see the difference

On this path let the heart be your guide.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?

There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
