Rumi
Listen
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don’t walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?
What you seek is seeking you.
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
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.
Out beyond right and wrong, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
The wound is the place where the light enters you.
