“There are thousands of wines
that can take over our minds.

Don't think all ecstasies
are the same!

Jesus was lost in his love for God.
His donkey was drunk with barley.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“Give your weakness to one who helps.”
― Rumi

“Go back,
go back to sleep.

Yes, you are allowed.
You who have no Love in your heart,
you can go back to sleep.

The power of Love
is exclusive to us,
you can go back to sleep.

I have been burnt
by the fire of Love.
You who have no such yearning in your heart,
go back to sleep.

The path of Love,
has seventy-two folds and countless facets.
Your love and religion
is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy,
go back to sleep.

I have torn to pieces my robe of speech,
and have let go of the desire to converse.
You who are not naked yet,
you can go back to sleep.”
― Rumi, Hush, Don't Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi

“The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.”
― Rumi
