“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?”
― Rumi

“Self-actualization is the point where people become fully functional and able to realize their potential. Self-actualization is the basic force that drives the person forward. When a person is achieving their potential, then they have what Maslow termed as a ‘peak experience’. This is an experience which transcends the ego boundaries and where the subject comes in touch with their full potential. This can manifest as spiritual realisation, but not necessarily a religious one. Self-actualization is the desire and drive to becoming everything we are capable of becoming.”
― Stephanie Sorrell, Psychosynthesis Made Easy: A Psychospiritual Psychology for Today

“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”
― Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.”
― Rumi
