Additional quotes by Rumi

"Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." As that happens, your soul starts to revive."

You’ve so distracted me, your absence fans my love. Don’t ask how. Then you come near. “Do not…” I say, and “Do not…,” you answer. Don’t ask why this delights me.

When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

When someone is counting out gold for you, don't look at your hands, or the gold. Look at the giver. - Rumi
