Rumi Quotes About Duality

• My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ; 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.

  Rumi

  Two, Soul, World

  Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Rumi (2015). “Collected Poetical Works of Rumi (Delphi Classics)”, p.659, Delphi Classics

• 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 fire by 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 sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.

  Rumi

  Running, Hurt, Fire

  Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “Shadow And Light Source Both”
