There is no room for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere?
RumiIn the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love.
RumiEverything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
RumiThere is an unseen sweetness in the stomachโs emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
