All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light. – Rumi

Don’t put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome’s passionate murmur. – Rumi

Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say. – Rumi

Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings…. Leave and don’t look away from the sun as you go, in whose light you’re sometimes crescent, sometimes full. – Rumi
