There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
RumiGod calls himself "Baseer" [Observant], so that the knowledge that He is watching you may keep you from sinning.
RumiMy soul gave me good counsel, teaching me to love. Love was for me a delicate thread stretched between two adjacent pegs, but now it has been transformed into a halo, its first is its last, and its last is its first. It encompases every being, slowly expanding to embrace all that ever will be.
RumiAnd don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous.
RumiAllah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words; for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
