“Don’t judge the way other people connect to God; to each his own way and his own prayer.

God does not take us at our word. He looks deep into our hearts. It is not the ceremonies or rituals that make a difference, but whether our hearts are sufficiently pure or not.”
― Shams Tabrizi, Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams of Tabriz

“The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.”
― Mark Nepo

“A life without love is of no account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western…Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire. The universe turns differently when fire loves water.”
― Shams Of Tabriz

“My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi, The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems
