Rumi

Why do you stay in prison, when the door is so wide open?

This silence, this moment, every moment, if it’s genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There’s nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty.

Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, ‘Be more silent.’ Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.

Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you.

Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.

Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.

Your boundaries are your quest.

"Wherever you stand, be the Soul of that place."
-Rumi

Heartsick, heartbroken — To know love is to know pain.
What could be more common?
Even so, each broken heart is so singular
That with it we probe the divine.

You are a lover of your own experience ... not of me ... you turn to me to feel ur own emotion

Don't flounder in the preambles of the past
Wounded with regrets; don't let autumnal
Nostalgia blind you to the sounds and scents
Of the present's Spring; you're a native of
The pellucid moment, make it infinite beyond
The curving snake of passing time and space.
Learn to die in the infinitely elusive moment.

استمع إلى صوت الناي كيف يبث آلام الحنين يقول: مُذ قُطعت من الغاب وأنا أحنُ إلى أصلي

ان تكن تبحث عن مسكن الروح فأنت روح
وان تكن تفتش عن قطعة خبز فأنت الخبز
وان تستطع ادراك هذه الفكرة الدقيقة فسوف تفهم
ان كل ما تبحث عنه هو أنت

Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body,
Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.

For the thirst to possess your love,
Is worth my blood a hundred times.

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.
