Whether time is long or short, and whether space is broad or narrow, depends upon the mind. Those whose minds are at leisure can feel one day as a millennium, and those whose thoughts are expansive can perceive a small house to be as spacious as the universe.
-Hung Tzu-ch’eng (1593-1665)
True freedom comes to those who have escaped the questions of freewill and fate.
-Rumi
What is the difference between
your experience of existence and that of a saint?
The saint knows that the spiritual path
is a sublime chess game with God
and that the Beloved has just made
such a fantastic move that the saint
is now continually tripping over joy
and bursting out in laughter and saying, “I Surrender!”
Whereas, my dear, I’m afraid you still think
you have a thousand serious moves.
-Hafiz
The inspiration you seek is already inside you.
Be silent and listen.
-Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment.
Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
-Rumi
