Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine; Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
RumiThe men of God are like fishes in the ocean; they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
RumiThe Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
Rumi
