    “This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. 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 beyond.”

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “You try to be faithful
    And sometimes you're cruel.
    You are mine. Then, you leave.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    And when you take the lead,
    I become your footstep.
    Your absence leaves a void.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    You have disturbed my sleep,
    You have wrecked my image.
    You have set me apart.
    Without you, I can't cope.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Be helpless, dumbfounded,
    Unable to say yes or no.
    Then a stretcher will come from grace
    to gather us up.

    We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
    If we say we can, we’re lying.
    If we say No, we don’t see it,
    That No will behead us
    And shut tight our window onto spirit.

    So let us rather not be sure of anything,
    Beside ourselves, and only that, so
    Miraculous beings come running to help.
    Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
    We shall be saying finally,
    With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
    When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
    We shall be a mighty kindness.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “To live without you
    is to be robbed of love
    and what is life without it?
    To live without you
    is death to me, my love
    but some call it life.”
    Rumi

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “What can I do, Muslims? I do not know myself.
    I am neither Christian nor Jew, neither Magian nor Muslim,
    I am not from east or west, not from land or sea,
    not from the shafts of nature nor from the spheres of the firmament,
    not of the earth, not of water, not of air, not of fire.
    I am not from the highest heaven, not from this world,
    not from existence, not from being.
    I am not from India, not from China, not from Bulgar, not from Saqsin,
    not from the realm of the two Iraqs, not from the land of Khurasan.
    I am not from the world, not from beyond,
    not from heaven and not from hell.
    I am not from Adam, not from Eve, not from paradise and not from Ridwan.
    My place is placeless, my trace is traceless,
    no body, no soul, I am from the soul of souls.
    I have chased out duality, lived the two worlds as one.
    One I seek, one I know, one I see, one I call.
    He is the first, he is the last, he is the outer, he is the inner.
    Beyond He and He is I know no other.
    I am drunk from the cup of love, the two worlds have escaped me.
    I have no concern but carouse and rapture.
    If one day in my life I spend a moment without you
    from that hour and that time I would repent my life.
    If one day I am given a moment in solitude with you
    I will trample the two worlds underfoot and dance forever.
    O Sun of Tabriz, I am so tipsy here in this world,
    I have no tale to tell but tipsiness and rapture.”
    Jelalludin Rumi

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.
    Love has no cause, it is the astrolabe of God's secrets.
    Lover and loving are inseparable and timeless.
    Although I may try to describe love,
    when I experience it, I am speechless.
    Although I may try to write about love, I am rendered helpless.
    My pen breaks, and the paper slips away
    at the ineffable place where lover loving and loved are one.
    Every moment is made glorious by the light of Love.”
    Jelaluddin Rumi

    Hazrat Inayat Khan
    “‎"Intellect is the knowledge obtained by experience of names and forms; wisdom is the knowledge which manifests only from the inner being; to acquire intellect one must delve into studies, but to obtain wisdom, nothing but the flow of divine mercy is needed; it is as natural as the instinct of swimming to the fish, or of flying to the bird. Intellect is the sight which enables one to see through the external world, but the light of wisdom enables one to see through the external into the internal world.”
    Hazrat Inayat Khan

    Paramahansa Yogananda
    “It is a great mistake to regard a certain object as pleasurable in itself and to store the idea of it in the mind in hope of fulfilling a want by its actual presence in the future. If objects were pleasurable in themselves, then the same dress or food would always please everyone, which is not the case.”
    Paramahansa Yogananda, Science of Religion

    “What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.”
