Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
RumiIf you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
RumiBotha swimmer and a drowned man are in the water; the latter is borne by the water and controlled by it, while the swimmer is borne along by his own power and of his own volition. Every movement made by the drowned man - indeed, every act and word that issue from him - comes from the water, not from him... The saints are like this. They have died before death.
Rumi
