If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
RumiWho says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.
RumiBeauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
RumiGod calls himself "Baseer" [Observant], so that the knowledge that He is watching you may keep you from sinning.
RumiIt is as if a king had sent you to a country to carry out one special, specific task. You go to the country and you perform a hundred other tasks, but if you have not performed the task you were sent for, it is as if you have done nothing at all. So people have come into the world for particular tasks, and that is our purpose. If we don't perform it, we will have done nothing.
Rumi
