Rumi

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.

This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.

The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

I have seen the king with a face of Glory, He who is the eye and the sun of heaven, He who is the companion and healer of all beings, He who is the soul and the universe that births souls.

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.

Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.

When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
