It suits the generaous man to give money,
but truly the generosity of th lover
is to surrender his soul.
If you give bread for God's sake,
you will be given bread in return;
if you give your life for God's sake,
you will be given life in return.
________________________________
I am in Love!
All this advise--
what's the use?
I have drunk poison.
All this sugar
what's the use?
You say hurry,
tie up his feet.
But its my heart that's gone crazy,
all this rope
around my feet--
what's the use?
_______________________________
Ever since you fled from my embrace
no one has seen me without tears
You are always in my heart and soul
I hope you too will not forget me
_______________________________
The one who has not had a taste of love
Is but a piece of wood or stone to God.
Love extracts water from stones;
Love removes rust from mirrors.
infidelity seeks war, faith peace;
Love sets fire to war and peace alike.
Love opens its mouth in the sea of the heart;
It devours the two worlds like a whale.
Like a lion, love knows no ruse;
It does not change from a lion to a fox.
_______________________________
Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands,
or your own genuine solitude?
Freedom, or power over an entire nation?
A little while alone in your room
will prove more valuable than anything else
that could ever be given you
_______________________________
Beauty surrounds us,
but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
The body itself is a screen to shield and partially reveal
the light that's blazing inside your presence.
Water, stories, the body,
all the things we do, are mediums
that hide and show what's hidden.
Study them,
and enjoy this being washed
with a secret we sometimes know,
and then not.

A Man Talking to his House
I say that no one in this caravan is awake and that while you sleep, a thief is stealing the signs and symbols of what you thought was your life. Now you're angry with me for telling you this!Pay attention to those who hurt your feelings telling you the truth. Giving and absorbing compliments is like trying to paint on water, that insubstantial.
Here is how a man once talked with his house, “Please, if you're ever about to collapse, let me know.” One night without aword the house fell. “What happened to our agreement?” The house answered, “Day and night I've been telling you with cracks and broken boards and holes appearing like mouths opening.
But you kept patching and filling those with mud, so proud of your stopgap masonry. You didn't listen.” This house is your body always saying, I'm leaving; I'm going soon. Don't hide from one who knows the secret.

Rumi about Mawlana`s exalted station
Right now in the inhabited quarter, Mawlana has no equal in all the fields, whether it be theology, or jurisprudence, or grammar. In the speaking of logic with its masters, he voices the meaning strongly ---- better, with more flavor, and more beautifully than they ---- if he must do it, if he wants to do it, and if boredom doesn`t prevent him. What is distateful here is that, if I were to become young again and strive for hundred years, I couldn`t gain one-tenth of his knowledge and excellence. But he pretends not to know that. When he`s listening to me, he fancies himself ---- this is so shameful that i cant say it ---- like a two-year old child before its father, or like a new Muslim who has never heard anything about Islam.
What submission! (730)

Rumi about Mawlana`s exalted station
Mawlanas attributes are such that not one of them can be reached by any fast-going wayfarer with a hundred thousand struggles ---- whether we talk of his clemency, his knowledge, his humulity, his generosity. That would be impossible. There would be no profit. Let him claim his rightful share (129-30)
_______________________________
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.
Love alone is capable of revealing the
truth of Love and being a Lover.
The way of our prophets is the way of Truth.
If you want to live, die in Love;
die in Love if you want to remain alive.
_______________________________
How shall we seek real knowledge?
By renouncing knowledge.
How shall we seek salvation?
By renouncing our own salvation.
How shall we seek Existence?
By renouncing our existence.
_______________________________
Leave all worries behind
and make your heart totally pure,
like the face of a mirror
with no image or design.
Once your heart is cleansed of all images,
it will contain them all..
_______________________________
If thou wilt be observant and vigilant,
thou wilt see at every moment the response
to thy action.
Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart,
for something is born to thee in consequence of every action.
_______________________________
How very close
how very close
is your soul with mine
i know for sure
everything you think
goes through my mind
i am with you
now and doomsday
not like a host
caring for you
at a feast alone
with you i am happy
all the times
the time i offer my life
or the time
you gift me your love
offering my life
is a profitable venture
each life i give
you pay in turn
a hundred lives again
in this house
there are a thousand
dead and still souls
making you stay
as this will be yours
a handful of earth
cries aloud
i used to be hair or
i used to be bones
and just the moment
when you are all confused
leaps forth a voice
hold me close
i'm love and
i'm always yours
_______________________________
One went to the door of the Beloved and
knocked. A voice asked, 'Who is there?'
He answered, 'It is I.'
The voice said, 'There is no room for Me and Thee.'
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation he returned and knocked.
A voice from within asked, 'Who is there?'
The man said, 'It is Thee.'
The door was opened for him.

I don’t need
a companion who is
nasty sad and sour
the one who is
like a grave
dark depressing and bitter
a sweetheart is a mirror
a friend a delicious cake
it isn’t worth spending
an hour with anyone else
a companion who is
in love only with the self
has five distinct characters
stone hearted
unsure of every step
lazy and disinterested
keeping a poisonous face
the more this companion waits around
the more bitter everything will get
just like a vinegar
getting more sour with time
enough is said about
sour and bitter faces
a heart filled with desire for
sweetness and tender souls
must not waste itself with unsavory matters
_______________________________
The source of your arrogance and anger is your lust
and the rootedness of that is in your habits.
Someone who makes a habit of eating clay
gets mad when you try to keep him from it.
Being a leader can also be a poisonous habit,
so that when someone questions your authority,
you think, "He's trying to take over."
You may respond courteously, but inside you rage.
Always check your inner state
with the lord of your heart.
Copper doesn't know it's copper,
until it's changed to gold.
Your loving doesn't know its majesty,
until it knows its helplessness.
These gifts from the Friend, a robe
of skin and veins, a teacher within,
wear them and become a school,
with a greater sheikh nearby.
_______________________________
Your thinking is like a camel driver and you are the camel:
it drives you in every direction under its bitter control.
_______________________________
The tale of love must be heard from love itself.
For like a mirror it is both mute and expressive.
_______________________________
To speak the same language is to share the same blood,
to be related
To live with strangers is the life of captivity
Many are Hindus and Turks who share the same language
Many are Turks who may be alien to one another
The language of companionship is a unique one
To reach someone through the heart is other than reaching them
through words.
Besides words, allusions and arguments
The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak
_______________________________
Every part of you has a secret language
your hands and your feet
say what you've done
and every need brings in what's needed
pain bears its cure like a child
_______________________________
The news we hear is full
of grief for that future,
but the real news inside here is
there's no news at all.
_______________________________
God Almighty described Himself as
the All-Seeing in order to warn you
against evil, He described Himself
as the All-Hearing to admonish you
not to say anything bad, and He
described Himself as the All-Knowing
to inform you that He knows you and
therefore to exhort you to be alert
to corrupt thoughts and considerations.
_______________________________
God hath not created
on the earth or in the
lofty mountains
any thing more occult
than the spirit of man
_______________________________
They say I tell the truth.
Then they ask me to do a puppet show of myself
in the bazaar.
I'm not something to sell.
I have already been bought.
_______________________________
I want to sing like birds sing;
not worrying who listens
or what they think
_______________________________
No mirror ever became iron again;
No bread ever became wheat;
No ripened grape ever became sour again.
Mature yourself and be secure
From a change for the worse. Become the Light
_______________________________
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything
out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter.
It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,
so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.
It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have
room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,
far better things will take their place.
_______________________________
Human beings are like untanned hide: apply bitter acids and rub
them in vigorously and the leather will become soft and supple
and full of beauty.Similarly, if you tan the human soul with harsh discipline and suffering, it will gradually become pure, lovely, and very strong.
But if you cannot mortify yourself, accept the sufferings God sends you,for afflictions sent by the Friend are the means of your purification.The medicine becomes palatable to the sick when they focus on their health.
_______________________________
If you could get rid of yourself just once,
The secret of secrets would open to you.
The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe
Would appear on the mirror of your perception.
_______________________________
A lifetime without Love is of no account
Love is the Water of Life
Drink it down with heart and soul!
_______________________________
A strange passion is moving in my head.
My heart has become a bird
which searches in the sky.
Every part of me goes in different directions.
Is it really so
that the one I love is everywhere?
_______________________________
Take someone who doesn't keep score,
who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest even
is his own personality: he's free.
_______________________________
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.
_______________________________
Most of these shaykhs have been highwaymen of Muhammad`s religion. All these mice in the house of Muhammad`s religion have worked ruin. But, God has cats among His dear servants, and they clear away the mice. If a hundred thousand mice were to gather together, they wouldn`t have the gall to look at the cat, because the cat`s awesomeness does not leave them any togetherness.
The cat is togetherness itself. If the mice were to come together, they would cooperate. Some mice would be sacrifised. But when the cat caught one, it would be kept busy. Then another would scratch out its eyes, and another would attack its head. They would kill it, or at least it would flee. Otherwise, it`s just that their fear doesn´t allow the mice to have togetherness, but the cat is togetherness
