In the slaughterhouse of love, they kill only the best, none of the weak or deformed. Don't run away from this dying. Whoever's not killed for love is dead meat.
RumiYou are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
RumiYou are not your body; you are the eye. When you see the spirit, you are free of the body. A human being is an eye โ the rest is just flesh and bones. Whatever your eye sees, you are that.
RumiSomething opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
Rumi
