What I most want is to spring out of this personality, then to sit apart from that leaping. I've lived too long where I can be reached.
RumiYour legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
RumiTo become spiritual, you must die to self, and come alive in the Lord. Only then will the mysteries of God fall from your lips. To die to self through self-discipline causes suffering but brings you everlasting life.
Rumi
