The way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.
RumiMy soul gave me good counsel, teaching me to love. Love was for me a delicate thread stretched between two adjacent pegs, but now it has been transformed into a halo, its first is its last, and its last is its first. It encompases every being, slowly expanding to embrace all that ever will be.
RumiBreak your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
RumiPour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself; for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
