When your love contracts in anger, the atmosphere itself feels threatening. But when youโre expansive, no matter what the weather, youโre in an open, windy field with friends.
RumiI'm in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: "fast, Bind him feet!" But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point?
RumiWhen you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
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
