Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“The Ego is a veil between humans and God’.”

“In prayer all are equal.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“The ground's generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground.”
Rumi

Wendell Berry
“Especially among Christians in positions of wealth and power, the idea of reading the Gospels and keeping Jesus' commandments as stated therein has been replaced by a curious process of logic. According to this process, people first declare themselves to be followers of Christ, and then they assume that whatever they say or do merits the adjective "Christian".”
Wendell Berry, Blessed are the Peacemakers: Christ's Teachings of Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You think of yourself
as a citizen of the universe.
You think you belong
to this world of dust and matter.
Out of this dust
you have created a personal image,
and have forgotten
about the essence of your true origin”
Rumi, Hush, Don't Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi
