“Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
“Liberated from suffering and searchI have tied myself to the skirt of God.If I fly, I look at the summits I ascend.If I go around in circleI observe the axis on which I revolve.If I am dragged by a burden,I know where I go.For I am the moon, and the sun is my guide.”
“Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God; God is the sun.”
“Why do you stay in prisonwhen the door is so wide open?Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.Live in silence.”
“In your light I learn how to love.In your beauty, how to make poems.You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you.”
“Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.”
“I am touched by wisdom that appears from a pure and peaceful mind, and the depth of love that appears from this wisdom…”
