Mevlana

*The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

*Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,
free of mountainous wanting.

*And You? When will you begin that long journey into Yourself?

*They are the chosen ones who have surrendered.


*This phantom world gave you false signs
But you turned from the illusion
and journeyed to the land of truth.

*Our death is our wedding with eternity.

*Feeling lonely and ignoble indicates
that you haven't been patient.

*Oh! joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color !
For beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.

*Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader,
are your own nature reflected in them.

*People fancy they are enjoying themselves,
but they are really tearing out their wings
for the sake of an illusion.

*The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone ...
he sets fire to the whole world.
