Rumi
Beyond right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.
There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.
What you seek is seeking you.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
