At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
RumiPlant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.
RumiSilence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
RumiWhen inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
RumiCreatures are cups. The sciences and the arts and all branches of knowledge are inscriptions around the outside of the cups. When a cup shatters, the writing can no longer be read. The wine's the thing! The wine that's held in the mold of these physical cups. Drink the wine and know what lasts and what to love. The man who truly asks must be sure of two things: One, that he's mistaken in what he's doing or thinking now. And two, that there is a wisdom he doesn't know yet. Asking is half of knowing.
