(Rumi Ghazal 480)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

Let the dark night become an absolute day~

(Rumi Ghazal 2011)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

His ego is the ruler, his intellect the captive;
he has devoured hundreds of thousands of holy books.

Since he breaks promises without an oath,
he will surely break them even when he swears.

(Rumi Masnavi 2:2131)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

The tyranny of the oppressors became a dark well for the tyrants.
The greater the tyranny, the scarier is the well;
Justice has decreed: worse for the worse.

O you who do injustice through power and rank,
know this—you are digging a pit for yourself.

(Rumi Masnavi 1:1310)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

O friend, let go of admonishment,
Instead foster a remedy for our ailment.

O friend, do not part from us, but
from sorrow and fear do make us apart.

Kindle joy from the depth of sorrow,
In this faithless world, let trust and faith flow.
(Rumi Ghazal 1928)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

The divine lord of beauty and the embodiment of all goodness is manifested in soul and reason for the ceremonial clay-stomping.

Step upon my water and clay, for with your step,
the darkness and veils of my water and clay will vanish.

(Rumi Ghazal 3050)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

O heart, do not say that you cannot bear it; distant yourself from your intrusive self, and see that there’s no need to bear anything.

You generously bear the pain and burden of everyone else’s ; why can’t you bear this treasure?…

(Rumi Ghazal 2476)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

A drop from the sea of your grace brought forth an amazing transformation:
Purity of heart, refinement, expansion, and wholeness.

The stingy yet greedy natured soul, in love with wealth and idle talk, found…
(#Rumi #Ghazal 2476)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

There is a hidden door from which you fly out every night, an imaginary string to your foot, pulls you back at dawn, preventing you from flying away. Saying, “Return to the prison of the womb until your creation is complete!”… (Rumi Ghazal 2450)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

O heart, do not laugh without the face of the soul, for without it, all laughter only adds to sorrow.
(Rumi Ghazal 365)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

As the radiance of His beauty shines,
mountains and earth become like silk & brocade. As we ask the wind about His scent, the sound of harp & trumpet echoes from the wind. As we write His name upon the earth, every fragment of the earth turns into an angel. (Rumi Ghazal 364)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

Upon the frozen heart and soul His insight brings emancipation. Upon the dark, lifeless stone His pathway brings fortuity.

Hell becomes cool, if he passes by it.
A barren land comes to life with just a glance from him.

(#Rumi #Ghazal 2477)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

O heart, since you fell into such a pool, this is your purifying wash of resurrection.

(Rumi Ghazal 342)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

As he opened his mouth to talk, all souls said,
The cure for the soul of every sick one is this.
When they drank one cup from the hand of love,
they became certain that their true ecstasy is this.
(#Rumi #Ghazal 342)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

Neither reason remains, nor discernment, nor a heart…What can be done? Such an encounter does this to you ~
The hundred-petaled rose also saw that beautiful face. The rose said to the nightingale, "The Rose of the garden is this."
(#Rumi #Ghazal 342)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

Go to the beloved and don’t think, “Maybe the beloved doesn’t want me.”
Why would a thirsty man care about such thoughts? A butterfly does not think twice about burning around the fire; because for a soul in love thinking twice is a disgrace!
(#Rumi #Ghazal 338)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

You are both the vision and the revelation, you're the Moon among moons,
You are sweetness within sweetness within sweetness.
You are both the aid for madness and the beauty of wisdom,
You are both the arrow and the shield of calamity.
(Rumi Ghazal 2456)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

For your love, I have such a burning heart…It is amazing how I am both bewildered and structured in this world.
And though I am a buyer in your bazaar of selling tragic love, I would not, for a hundred lives, become a seller of what I have from your love.

(#Rumi #Ghazal 1442)

[Rumi: Path of Love @Rumipathoflove]

After experiencing kingdom and kingship becoming a beggar is not right. The beloved is calling you in absence of yourself, because for you, this selfishness is not right. Since the heavenly table has come to the world, henceforth, acting as a poor man is not right.
(#Rumi 343)
