Additional quotes by Rumi
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one
You have been walking the ocean's edge,
holding up your robes to keep them dry.
You must dive naked under and deeper under,
a thousand times deeper. Love flows down.
The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes.
Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that?
Do not put blankets over the drum.
Open completely.
زهی صبحی! که او آید، نشیند بر سر بالین
تو چشم از خواب بگشایی ببینی شاه شاهانی!
