All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire.
RumiYou soak up my soul and mingle me. Each drop of my blood cries out to the earth. We are partners, blended as one.
RumiThis is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First, to let go of life. In the end, to take a step without feet; to regard this world as invisible, and to disregard what appears to be the self. Heart, I said, what a gift it has been to enter this circle of lovers, to see beyond seeing itself, to reach and feel within the breast.
