The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.
RumiIn the silence between your heartbeat bides a summons. Do you hear it? Name it if you must, or leave it forever nameless, but why pretend it is not there?
RumiIf you follow the ways in which you were trained, which you may have inherited, for no other reason than this, you are illogical.
RumiThe Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." When a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.
Rumi
