MASNAVI II:688-9

TURN BACK from existence toward non-existence,
If you seek the Lord and belong to the Lord.
Non-existence is the place of income;
Do not run away from it.
This existence of more or less
Is the place of expenditure.

MASNAVI I:3086

Every Prophet and every saint has a way, but all lead to God.
All ways are really one.

DIVAN-1I Shams 2530

MY Heart has become a pen in the Beloved’s fingers: Tonight He may write a Z, perhaps tomorrow, a B.
He cuts and sharpens His pen well to write in riqa’ and naskh; The pen says, ‘Lo, I obey, for You know best what to do.”
