Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
RumiGo back, go back to sleep. Yes, you are allowed. You who have no Love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. The power of Love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. I have been burnt by the fire of Love. You who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. The path of Love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. Your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. I have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. You who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
RumiIf you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
RumiIf you have no eyes, do not walk blindly; take a staff in your hand. If you have no staff of insight, do not walk without a guide.
RumiLet yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
