Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?
RumiFor only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
RumiSit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." As that happens, your soul starts to revive.
RumiNeither this body am I, nor soul, Nor these fleeting images passing by, Nor concepts and thoughts, mental images, Nor yet sentiments and the psyche's labyrinth. Who then am I? A consciousness without origin, Not born in time, nor begotten here below. I am that which was, is and ever shall be, A jewel in the crown of the Divine Self, A star in the firmament of the luminous One.
Rumi
