Rumi

[PrInCiPiEl]

• Jalal al-Din RUMI
  
  
  Light up a fire of love within your soul
  Burn up these thoughts and words form head to toe !
  
  (M2:17630)
  
  
  
  
  A man in love , no matter what he says
  the smell of love wafts love-ward from his mouth
  He speaks of jurisprudence , what emerges?
  from mystic poverty , a sweet effulgence.
  He blasphems , the scent of faith arises.
  He offers doubts , no doubt we grow more sure
  
  (M1:2880-830)
  
  
  
  
  Free will endows our worship with its savor
  for otherwise , the heavens turn, compelled
  revolving rewardless and unpunished.
  On Judgement Day free will's the skill that's judged!
  
  (M3:3287-8)

• 
  A damsel said to her lover , "O fond youth,
  
  You have visited many cities in your travels;
  
  Which of those cities seem most delightful to you ? "
  
  He made answer , " The city wherein my love dwells.
  
  In whatever nook my queen alights,
  
  Though it be as the eye of a needle , 'tis a wide plain ;
  
  Wherever her Yusuf - like face shine as a moon,
  
  Though it be the bottom of a well, 'tis Paradise.
  
  With thee , my love , hell itself where heaven,
  
  With thee a prison would be a rose-garden.
  
  With thee hell would be a mansion of delight,
  
  Without thee lilies and roses would be as flames of fire ! " .

Rumi

• Open the veil and close our door --
  You are an I , and empty the house.
  
  Without your speech the soul has no ear ,
  Without your ear the soul has no tongue.

• Rumi
  
  
  With God is the best bargain ; he buys from you
  
  your dirty fortune and gives in exchange light
  
  of the soul.
  
  He buys the ice of the perishable body and gives a
  
  kingdom beyond imagination.

- Rumi -

• “ These spiritual window-shoppers,
  Who idly ask, 'How much is that?'; 'Oh, I'm just looking.'
  They handle a hundred items and put them down,
  Shadows with no capital.
  
  What is spent is love and two eyes wet with weeping.
  But these walk into a shop,
  And their whole lives pass suddenly in that moment,
  In that shop.
  
  Where did you go? 'Nowhere.'
  What did you have to eat? 'Nothing much.'
  
  Even if you don't know what you want,
  Buy something to be part of the exchanging flow.
  
  Start a huge, foolish project,
  Like Noah.
  
  It makes absolutely no difference
  What people think of you.”

Mathanawi VI, 831-845

Rumi

• 
  "Look not at Time's events, which come from the spheres and make life so disagreeable.
  Look not at this lack of daily bread and the means of livelihood.
  Look not at this famine and fear and trembling and war and destruction."
  
  ...
  
  "Look at this: In spite of all the world's bitterness, you are passionately and shamelessly attached to it.
  Know that bitter tribulation is a Mercy!
  Know that possessing the empire of Marv and Balkh is a Vengeance.
  The cruelty of time and of every suffering that exists is easier than distance from God and forgetfulness.
  For that cruelty will pass, but distance from Him will not pass.
  No one possesses good fortune but he who takes to Him an aware spirit."

Rumi

• 
  “ Lord, show me things as they are.
  You show a thing as fair, and in reality it is ugly.
  You show a thing as ugly, and in truth it is beautiful.
  Show us everything just as it is,
  So that we will not fall into the snare.”
