• This is a gathering of Lovers.
  In this gathering
  there is no high, no low,
  no smart, no ignorant,
  no special assembly,
  no grand discourse,
  no proper schooling required.
  There is no master,
  no disciple.
  This gathering is more like a drunken party,
  full of tricksters, fools,
  mad men and mad women.
  This is a gathering of Lovers.

  Rumi

  Life, Smart, Party

  "Hush Don't Say Anything to God". Book by Rumi, translated by Shahram Shiva, 1999.

• The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator. And how many loves have perished because, from pride, or spite, or diffidence, or that unmanly shame which withholds a man from daring to betray emotion, a lover, at the critical point of the relation, has but hung his head and held his tongue?

• Great men,
  Till they have gained their ends, are giants in
  Their promises, but, those obtained, weak pigmies
  In their performance. And it is a maxim
  Allowed among them, so they may deceive,
  They may swear anything; for the queen of love,
  As they hold constantly, does never punish,
  But smile, at lovers' perjuries.

• Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well?
  To bear too tender or too firm a heart,
  To act a lover's or a Roman's part?
  Is there no bright reversion in the sky
  For those who greatly think, or bravely die?

• Where shall the lover rest,
  Whom the fates sever
  From his true maiden's breast,
  Parted for ever?
  Where, through groves deep and high,
  Sounds the far billow,
  Where early violets die,
  Under the willow.

  Looking ill prevail?

• But I am all for love, and I am against marriage, particularly the arranged kind, because the arranged marriage gives you satisfaction. And love? - love can never satisfy you. It gives you more and more thirst for a better and better love, it makes you more and more long for it, it gives you tremendous discontentment. And that discontent is the beginning of the search for God. When love fails many times, you start looking for a new kind of lover, a new kind of love, a new quality of love. That love affair is prayer, meditation, sannyas.

  Rajneesh

• It's beautiful to dance alone, beautiful to dance with your children, beautiful to dance with your friends, beautiful to dance with your lover, or even collectively. But the ultimate dance is the one we do by ourselves, when we make ourselves known to God.

• ... if you desire to marry you must realize that a mistress
  is won by the good temper and grace displayed while dancing...
  for dancing is practiced to reveal whether lovers
  are in good health and sound of limb,
  after which they are permitted to kiss their mistresses
  in order that they may touch and savor one another
  thus to ascertain if they are shapley
  or emit an unpleasant odor as of bad meat.
  Therefore, from this standpoint, quite apart from the
  many other advantages to be derived from dancing,
  it becomes an essential to a well-ordered society.

• For most people, a life lived alone, with passing strangers or passing
