EPITAPH OF JALALUDIN RUMIWhen we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men.

He who knows himself, knows his Lord' means, among other things, that self-deception prevents knowledge.

Question 3: Why should a person study Sufism?Answer: Because he was created to study it; it is his next step.

Sufism, they say, is that which enables one to understand religion, irrespective of its current outward form.

If you seek a teacher, try to become a real student. If you want to be a student, try to find a real teacher.

You have come a long way, and you do not know it. You have a long way to go, and you do know what that means.

A pesar de lo rápido que corras, o lo hábil que seas, no podrás huir de tus propios pies

To be a Sufi is to detach from fixed ideas and from preconceptions; and not to try to avoid what is your lot.

Todas las formas son limitadas; algunas de las limitaciones son el tiempo, el lugar, la cultura, el lenguaje.

You have come a long way, and you do not know it. You have a long way to do, and you do know what that means.

Dicho del ProfetaEnseñanzaUna hora de enseñanza es mejor que una noche entera de oración.

Day and NightThe night is long: do not shorten it by sleep. The day is fair: do not darken it with wrongdoing.

Continuamente, en conmemoración del Amigo, bebimos vino, incluso antes de la creación de la vid.

Forms are vehicles and instruments, and vehicles and instruments cannot be called good or bad without context.

Pobre avaro, donde quiera que vaya, él persigue alimentos, y la muerte lo persigue a él. (Saadi)
