Eternal Life is gained by utter abandonment of one’s own life. When God appears to His ardent lover the lover is absorbed in Him, and not so much as a hair of the lover remains. Rumi
The sea itself is one thing, the foam another; neglect the foam, and regard the sea with your eyes. Rumi
Conceive the Soul as a fountain, and these created things as rivers: while the Fountain flows, the rivers run from it. Rumi
The Love of the soul is for wisdom and knowledge, that of the body for houses, gardens, and vine-yards. Rumi
