Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don’t mind that you’ve been given a dirty cup. – Rumi

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

The mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe that when you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear, as you yourself do at dawn, sailing through the light. – Rumi

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal. – Rumi
