You've come to know the fortunate and the inauspicious stars, but you don't know whether you yourself are fortunate or lucky.
From Rumi
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.
Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.
The way the Beloved can fit in my heart, two thousand lives could fit in this body of mine. One kernel could contain a thousand bushels, and a hundred worlds pass through the eye of the needle.
There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.
Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.
Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.
