Rumi

Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who’s there.

Rumi

The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.

Rumi

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

Rumi

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.
