Somebody once asked Rumi

"Who are you?"

And he replied

"I do not know who I am. I am in astounding lucid confusion! If you label me and define me, you will starve yourself of yourself. If you box me down with labels and definitions, that box will be your coffin. I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God!"

' i am a disciple, i am a follower, i am a devotee,

a sufi, a lotus eater, the original druid.

because the nectar of Love comes this way,

because i know i was with you everyday

and i didn't know it.

i slept with you every night but did not know it.

i thought that i was me but i was you

and didn't know it.'

Rumi

"I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there;

I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas,

but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere…

I searched on the mountains and in the valleys

but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him.

I went to the Ka’bah in Mecca, but He was not there either…

I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding…

Then I looked into my heart and it was there

where He dwelled that I saw Him,

He was nowhere else to be found."

~ Rumi

My dear heart never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don’t harbour bad thoughts do not gossip and don’t teach what you do not know.

~ Rumi

Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.

∼ I looked in temples, churches and mosques. 

   But I found the Divine in my heart. ∼ Rumi

Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.

Chagall, "Abraham and the Three Angels", circa 1954

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be cleaning you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from the beyond.

~ Rumi
