FUCK YEAH RUMI

What in your life is calling you, when all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul?

You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!

If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.

I can’t believe I was so asleep! How did I ever forget the truth? How ridiculous to believe that sadness and sickness Are anything other than bad dreams.

You are a volume in the divine book A mirror to the power that created the universe Whatever you want, ask it of yourself Whatever you’re looking for can only be found Inside of you.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

Try another way of looking. Try you looking and the whole universe seeing.

My soul and yours are the same, You appear in me, I in you, We hide in each other.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

Deafened by the voice of desire you are unaware the Beloved lives in the core of your heart. Stop the noise and you will hear His voice in the silence.

When it’s cold and raining, you are more beautiful. And the snow brings me even closer to your lips. The inner secret, that which was never born, you are that freshness, and I am with you now. I can’t explain the goings, or the comings. You enter suddenly, and I am nowhere again. Inside the majesty.

A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.

All night, a man called “Allah” Until his lips were bleeding. Then the Devil said, “Hey! Mr Gullible! How comes you’ve been calling all night And never once heard Allah say, “Here, I am”? You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what? I’ll tell you what. Nothing!” The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned. Depressed, he threw himself on the ground And fell into a deep sleep. In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked, “Why are you regretting praising Allah?” The man said, “ I called and called But Allah never replied, “Here I am.” Abraham explained, “Allah has said, “Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you. All your attempts to reach Me Are in reality My attempts to reach you. Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me. In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah” Waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.”

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.
