Rumi

If you are here unfaithfully with us,
you're causing terrible damage.
If you've opened your loving to God's love,
you're helping people you don't know
and have never seen.

Love is a river
Drink from it ...

We are the flute,
but the music is Thine.

If you want to live, die in Love.

A Great Silence overcomes me,
and I wonder why I ever thought
to use language.

The soul lives there in the silent Breath.

Listen, if you can stand to.
Union with the Friend means not being who you've been,
Being instead silence: A place: A view
Where language is inside seeing.

There is a channel between voice and presence,
A way where information flows.
In disciplined silence, the channel opens;
With wandering talk, it closes.
