Go back, go back to sleep. Yes, you are allowed. You who have no Love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. The power of Love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. I have been burnt by the fire of Love. You who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. The path of Love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. Your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. I have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. You who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
RumiWhen you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. โฆPeople fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
RumiAngels dance only with You, Beloved and only before You do I bow in adoration. You may accept me or not but I will be at your feet forever.
RumiHeartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.
