Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
RumiThe ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. The eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. When hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. If all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! Certain energies come only when you burn. If you long for belief, sit down in the fire! When the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. But if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.
RumiYour name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?
RumiThe way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.
Rumi
