When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
Image
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.

This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.

Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.
Rumi

I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi

Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi

How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
