MASNAVI I:2653-5

THE PROPET reported that God said,
“I am not contained in the container of high and low.
I am not contained in the earth nor in the all heavens.
But I am contained in the heart of My faithful servant.
How wonderful! If you seek Me, seek Me there.”

REMEMBRANCE OF God instills in us a desire for the journey,
And makes us into travelers.

MASNAVI I:1736; 1739-40

ALL Kings are enslaved to their slaves, all people are ready to die for one who dies for them.
The hearts of lovers are captivated by those who have lost their hearts to them.
Whoever you regard as a lover, know he is also beloved.
And we who are God’s beloved must become His Lovers.

MASNAVI II:PROLOGUE

SOMEONE ASKED, “What is love?”
God answered, “You will know when you lose yourself in Me.”
