Grief can be the garden of compassion.
If you keep your heart open through everything,
your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom
(Rumi)
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.
(Rumi)
Everyone has been made for some particular work,
and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
(Rumi)
Comments
When Rumi talks about love, he means ISHQ-E-HAQIQI (Love of/with the creator) and not ISHQ-E-MAJAZI (WORLDLY LOVE).
According to Rumi You cant't imagine the depth of love, it goes deeper and deeper as you dive faster and faster.
