“Majnun may gaze at Layla‘s beauty, but this Layla is only a mirror […] God with Majnun‘s eye looks upon His own beauty in Layla, and through Majnun He loves Himself.”

“قل للذين مقامهم في مقلتي
ما ضرّنا إذ ناءتِ الأميالُ
في كل يوم تكبرون بداخلي
كالزّهرِ يورقُ في الحياةِ جمالُ”

“In the heavens I see your eyes,
In your eyes I see the heavens.
Why look for another Moon or another Sun?—
What I see will always be enough for me.”
― Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

“You only know the universe according to the amount you know the shadows, and you are
ignorant of the Real according to what you do not know of the person on which that shadow
depends. Inasmuch as He has a shadow, He is known, and inasmuch as one is ignorant of
what is in the essence of the shadow of the form which projects the shadow, he is ignorant of
Allah. For that reason, we say that Allah is known to us from one aspect and not known to us
from another aspect.”
― The Bezels of Wisdom

“There is a place where words are born of silence,
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.
There is a place where voices sing your beauty,
A place where every breath
carves your image
in my soul.”
― Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

A place where every breath
