Rumi's

from Paulo Coelho's blog.


If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.


Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.


Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.


Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkh, or Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian muslim poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic.
