Quotes From "The Big Red Book" By Jalaluddin Rumi

1
From "Wetness and Water"How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Do not try to put out a fireby throwing on more fire. Do not wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes it's in front. Only full, overhead sundiminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. Jalaluddin Rumi
2
Only union with you gives joy. The rest if tearing down one building to put up another. Jalaluddin Rumi
