There is no room for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere?
RumiBe with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
RumiWe were green: we ripened and grew golden. The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown. Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings. We started sober: are love's startled drunkards. You hide me in your cloak of nothingness Reflect my ghost in your glass of being I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream Where your eternity briefly trembles.
Rumi
