My Favorites by RUMI
June 21, 2011
A Persian poet and a Sufi mystic, Rumi has always been my favorite. A poet whose words give peace to my soul. Here are some verses that I love of Rumi. Hope you like them too!!!
Has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask For what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth Across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep |

into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent person, who doesn't know what he's about to do! |
Admit that love has in it all the righteousness that we need. Confess that you're willing to forget and be numb enough to call some low desire a holy name. Live as evidence that there is a way from wanting to longing. |
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for these two insomnias! and the difference between them. |

You are more beautiful. And the snow brings me even closer to your lips. The inner secret, that which was never born, you are that freshness, and I am with you now. I can't explain the goings, or the comings. You enter suddenly, and I am nowhere again. Inside the majesty. |
Though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within but don't move The way that fear makes you move. --------- |
There is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase doesn't make any sense. |

Hey There, I love Rumi too, one of his phrase goes like this, "When you were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?"
Isn't it so self explanatory!
Cheers and Happy Blogging :)
