To Love is to be God.

Never will a Lover's chest

feel any sorrow.

Never will a Lover's robe

be touched by mortals.

Never will a Lover's body

be found buried in the earth.

To Love is to be God.

Jalaluddin Rumi

    Your soul is so close to mine
    That what you dream, I know. …
    I know everything you think of: your heart is so close to mine!

    Your depression is connected to your insolence
    and refusal to praise. Whoever feels himself walking
    on the path, and refuses to praise--that man or woman
    steals from others every day--is a shoplifter!

    The sun became full of light when it got hold of itself.
    Angels only began shining when they achieved discipline.
    The sun goes out whenever the cloud of not-praising comes.
    The moment the foolish angel felt insolent, he heard the door close.

    My dear soul, flee from the worthless,
    stay close only to those with a pure heart.
    Like attracts like.
    A crow will lead you to the graveyard,
    a parrot to a lump of sugar.

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

    It’s rigged — everything, in your favor.
    So there is nothing to worry about.

    Is there some position you want,
    some office, some acclaim, some award, some con, some lover,
    maybe two, maybe three, maybe four — all at once, maybe a relationship
    with God?

    I know there is a gold mine in you, when you find it
    the wonderment of the earth’s gifts
    you will lay aside
    as naturally as does a child a doll.

    But, dear, how sweet you look to me kissing the unreal:
    comfort, fulfill yourself,
    in any way possible — do that until
    you ache, until you ache,

    then come to me
    again.

    I'm in love!
    Your advice, what are they?
    Love has poisoned me!
    Your remedies, what are they?
    I hear them shout: "fast, Bind him feet!"
    But if my heart that has gone mad!
    Those strings on my feet
    What is the point?

    There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows.
    In disciplined silence it opens; with wandering talk it closes.

      Travelers, it is late.
      Life's sun is going to set.
      During these brief days that you have strength,
      be quick and spare no effort of your wings.

      What the sayer of praise is really praising is himself,
      by saying implicitly,
      My eyes are clear.

      Likewise, someone who criticizes is criticizing
      himself, saying implicitly, "I can't see very well
      with my eyes so inflamed.
