Author of quotes: Jalaluddin Rumi. Page 6

Not awake in heart, we hardly
Will attain what is yearned for.

How much are we a little knowledge about people have
So often wonder the dragons and snakes.

I am small and know the law:
Where the rose - there is a thorn, and where the treasure - there's a dragon!

Make friends with smart, for a friend of a fool
Sometimes more dangerous than a clever enemy.

Sew up my eyes, let the heart becomes the eye.

In the mirror, as you know, Vice versa. But without it we would never have seen themselves!

When could trust not to words,
But the truth is that the heart is known,
Yes, the heart that the truth will be lit,
It was not used limit miracles.

Once beloved came to the house of his Beloved. He knocked on the door. "Who's there?" - asked Sweetheart. The man replied: "This is me, loving you." - "Go, - said the Beloved, - in fact, you're not in love". The years passed, the beloved again came to the door of his Beloved and knocked. "Who's there?" - asked Sweetheart. This time the man answered, "It's you". "Now, when you're me, - said Sweetheart, you can come in".

I lived on the verge of insanity wanting to know reasons, knocking at the door. It opened. I've been knocking from the inside!

I've been looking for God among Christians, but It was not on the cross.
I visited a Hindu temple and ancient Buddhist monastery,
But there I have not found even a trace of It.
I went to the Kaaba, but God was not there.
Then I looked into my heart.
And only there saw God,
Which was not anywhere else...

The whole world runs... But in a different way. Running man - one species, and plants - other, but completely different from the run of the soul.

This world - mountain, and our action the shout: the echo of the shouts in the mountains always comes back to us.
