You have been interested in your shadow,
Look instead directly at the sun
It's a fortunate bird who's not intrigued with evening,
who flies in the sun we call Shams
- Rumi

<>Oh Companion That Abode Is Unmatched,

Where My Complete Beloved Is.

In that Place There Is No Happiness or Unhappiness,

No Truth or Untruth

Neither Sin Nor Virtue.

There Is No Day or Night, No Moon or Sun,

There Is Radiance Without Light.

-Kabir

I am so close, I may look distant.

So completely mixed with you, I may look separate.

So out in the open, I appear hidden.

So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.

- Rumi

There is a Secret One inside us;

the planets in all the galaxies

pass through his hands like beads.

-Kabir

"Respond to every call that excites your spirit." - Rumi

Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free. - Rumi

I have been pierced by the arrow of love,

what shall I do?

I can neither live, nor can I die

Listen ye to my ceaseless outpourings,

I have peace neither by night, nor by day

I cannot do without my Beloved even for a moment

I have been pierced by the arrow of love,

what shall I do?

- Bulleh Shah

"Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls, 

that we should remain in being beside thee?

We and our existences are really non-existence; 

thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.

know whilst you live, understand whilst you live:

for in life deliverance abides.

If your bonds be not broken whilst living,

what hope of deliverance in death ?"

never become the sky 

take an axe to the prison wall, escape walk out 

like someone suddenly born into color do it now."

Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights."

Darkness is your candle.

"With the Beloved's water of life, no illness remains

In the Beloved's rose garden of union, no thorn remains.

They say there is a window from one heart to another

How can there be a window where no wall remains?"

"Make your last journey from this strange world

soar for the heights where there is no more

separation of you and your home 

God has created your wings not to be dormant

as long as you are alive you must try more and more

to use your wings to show you’re alive."

-Rumi

"My life is a sacrifice unto Him

You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved!"
