Mevlana Rumi

The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

I burn away; laugh; my ashes are alive!
I die a thousand times:
My ashes dance back-
A thousand new faces

The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.

If you want to hold the beautiful one, hold yourself to yourself.

The eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy.

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

Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.

Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
until your eyes constantly exhale love
as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
