Jalaluddin Rumi Quotes

One Swaying Being

Love Is Not Condescension, Never That,
nor Books, Nor Any Marking On Paper,
nor What People Say Of Each Other.
Love Is A Tree With Branches Reaching Into Eternity
and Roots Set Deep In Eternity, And No Trunk!
Have You Seen It?
The Mind Cannot.
Your Desiring Cannot.
The Longing You Feel For This Love Comes From Inside You.
When You Become The Friend,
your Longing Will Be As The Man In The Ocean
who Holds To A Piece Of Wood.
Eventually Wood, Man, And Ocean
become One Swaying Being,
Shams Tabriz, The Secret Of God.
