Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Rumi
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi

Rumi
While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there.
Rumi
Always check your inner state with the lord of your HEART.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
