More quotes by 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.

At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love: We are going to sky, who wants to come with us? We have gone to Heaven, we have been the friends of the angels, And now we will go back there, for there is our country.
Rumi
The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
Rumi
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.
Rumi
