Rumi
If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.
Rumi
Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
Rumi
Inside any deep asking is the answering.
Rumi
Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God God is the sun.
Rumi
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
Rumi
