This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'Be more silent.' Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.
RumiInside you thereโs an artist you donโt know aboutโฆ say yes quickly, if you know, if youโve known it from before the beginning of the universe.
RumiYou are a volume in the divine book A mirror to the power that created the universe Whatever you want, ask it of yourself Whatever youโre looking for can only be found Inside of you
RumiIf you have not learned to be a passionate lover, do not count your life as lived. On the day of reckoning, it will not be counted.
RumiIf you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist โ Do not go in the direction of darkness โ I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
