Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
RumiWhen you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
RumiThe fluteplayer puts breath into a flute, and who makes the music? Not the flute. The Fluteplayer!
RumiLovers think they are looking for each other, but there is only one search: wandering This world is wandering that, both inside one transparent sky. In here there is no dogma and no heresy.
