Rumi Quotes - Page 29

• An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: For loving a true love. Feet: To chase after. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why. A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.

  Eye, Love Is, Men

• In our hearts there burns a fire...

  In the heart of the Spirit,
  In the core of the heart.
