Quote

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.

Your real country is where you're heading, not where you are.
Rumi
Image
I belong to the beloved. Have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know. ...First, Last, Outer, Inner, only that breath breathing. HUMAN BEING.
Rumi
Image
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi

Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
Image
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi

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

I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
Image
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
Image
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi

What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
Image
Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.
Rumi
Image
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
Rumi
Image
From the Distance You only See My Light Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
Rumi
Image
Love possesses seven hundred wings, and each one extends from the highest heaven to the lowest earth.
Rumi
Image
A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.
Rumi

Whoever's calm and sensible is insane!
