Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
RumiDo you pay regular visits to yourself? Don't argue or answer rationally. Let us die, and dying, reply.
RumiIn their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
RumiA lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
Rumi
