RumiWe are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee; we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
RumiYou lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.
RumiThe intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
