What was said to the rose that made it open
was said to me here in my chest.
What was told the Cypress that made it strong
and straight, what was
whispered the jasmine so it is what it is, whatever made
sugarcane sweet, whatever
was said to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil in
Turkestan that makes them
so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush
like a human face, that is
being said to me now. I blush. Whatever put eloquence in
language, that's happening here.
The great warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,
chewing a piece of sugarcane,
in love with the one to whom every that belongs!

The Beloved Rumi
Information
Rumi, one of the most celebrated mystics of all time.

Latest Activity: on Tuesday
The mystic Rumi chose poetry to communicate his deep spiritual experiences. His language, that of love in its purest form, speaks to us today as it did seven hundred years ago, surpassing time and bridging cultures.
Discover the depths of a mystic's soul.
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.
The way you make love
is the way God will be with you.
My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment.
To say tomorrow is not our way.
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.
The middle path is the way to wisdom.

Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life.
Touch the sun, and immerse in the sea.

There is no God except Allah and Muhammed is His messenger.
The sage Rumi was a witness to it.

Snapped the sting of your souls harp.
