At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside; sit in your own awareness. You will be at once happy, forever still, forever free.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language - door and open the love - window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
