‏زهی صبحی! که او آید، نشیند بر سر بالین تو چشم از خواب بگشایی ببینی شاه شاهانی! - Rumi

مكابدتك لنفسك حرب لا نهاية لها

A life without love is of no account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western. Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.

Many have been led astray by the Qur'an:
by clinging to that rope many have fallen into the well.
There is no fault in the rope, O perverse man,
for it was you who had no desire to reach the top.
