“The secret of truth cannot be understood by asking questions,
Gathering information or spreading all your wealth.
If you have not cried for fifty years with bloody tears,
If you have not burned your heart out
You cannot find the way from word to ecstasy.”Rumi♥
“You have to do something inside of you,
You can’t untie the knot by listening to stories.
A fountain inside the house
Is better than a river outside.” Rumi♥
O my God, don’t leave me in the hand of this unreliable self.
Don’t make me agree with anyone but You.
I run to You from deceits, troubles of ‘myself’,
I am Yours.
Don’t give myself back to me. Rumi♥
"My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless" .
"He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward"
I come to you without me, come to me without you.
Self is the thorn in the sole of the soul.
Merge with others,
If you stay in self, you are a grain, you are a drop,
If you merge with others, you are an ocean, you are a mine. Rumi♥
Once more,
Love is pouring down my ceiling
and my walls.
Once more, it's the night of the full moon,
it is time for madness.
All my immense knowledge
cannot help me now.
Once more,
Insomnia took my patience.
Rain washed away my intellect.
The Lover made me lose my profession.
What good is my work anyway?
Once more, rise, rise, rise, ..Rumi♥
Like the way a garden burns
in a hundred shades of orange in the fall,
a Lover's heart shrivels for a sense of the Beloved's touch.
Now the face of that charred garden
is my field of flowers.
Look, two hundred Jupiters
are dancing around my moon.
My Love business is booming,
but don't credit the consultants.
I am done with the consultants
and the pundits,
they call you Jafar the imposter.
Little do they know,
that you are my Shams the Flyer.Rumi♥
There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl
to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately
it needs some wild Darling!
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face into mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door,
and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.Rumi♥
Love said to me, there is nothing that is not me. Rumi
I swear, since seeing Your face,
the whole world is fraud and fantasy
The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf
or blossom. The distracted birds
can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.
A house of love with no limits,
a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,
a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.
Rumi♥
A house of love with no limits,
a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,

“You who lives everyday life,
Shame on you! Why do you live like this?
Do not live without the Love for which you would die for.
Die for that Love, then you will become immortal.” Rumi♥
Bless me with nothing less
Fasten me close to yourself with love’s glue
For this time I seek nothing else
But just you.Mj♥
