Rumi

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn't matter,

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,

Come, come again, come.

~ RUMI


One day the sun admitted

I am just a shadow

I wish I could show you the Infinite

Incandescence that has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you

when you are lonely or in darkness

the Astonishing Light of your own Being!

~HAFIZ

What a wonderful world

Blessed are those who give without remembering. And blessed are those who take without forgetting.

The world but seems to be

yet is nothing more

than a line drawn

between light and shadow.

Decipher the message

of this dream-script

and learn to distinguish time

from Eternity.

The cure for pain is in the pain!

"Love takes you towards the trap…

Love tortures and oppresses the innocents

Those who fall into its hands cry like clouds

Those who flee from it are frozen like the snow

In the heart of lovers, there is a pain no remedy can cure

Neither walk nor sleep nor food nor thought nor prayer…

Nothing, nothing but the sight of the Friend

The meeting with the Friend IS the cure."
~Rumi
