Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
RumiIf it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.
RumiThe mind says there is nothing beyond the physical world; the HEART says there is, and I've been there many times.
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.
RumiIf you put on shoes that are too tight and walk out across an empty plain, you will not feel the freedom of the place unless you take off your shoes. Your shoe-constriction has you confined. At night before sleeping you take off the tight shoes, and your soul releases into a place it knows. Dreams glide deeper.
Rumi
