Rumi Time!



“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?”

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

“What you seek is seeking you.”

“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

“A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.”

“Be like melting snow -- wash yourself of yourself.”

“They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?”

“When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth.”

“You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.”

“The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.”
