Quote

Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.

Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.

Rumi
Image
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi

Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.

How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.

Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

A Candle never Loses any of its Light while Lighting up another candle.

To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
