The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart.. The light which fills the heart is the light of God, which is pure and separate from the light of intellect and sense.
RumiThis is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
RumiIf in the darkness of ignorance, you donโt recognize a personโs true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.
RumiTHIS TORTURE Why should we tell you our love stories when you spill them together like blood in the dirt? Love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor, or a fire we canโt see, but how does saying that push us through the top of the head into the light above the head? Love is not an iron pot, so this boiling energy wonโt help. Soul, heart, self. Beyond and within those is one saying, How long before Iโm free of this torture!
Rumi
