Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.Live in silence.Flow down and down in alwayswidening rings of being. The Essential Rumi (1995)
Silenceis an ocean. Speech is a river.When the ocean is searching for you, don't walkinto the language-river. Listen to the ocean,and bring your talky business to an endTraditional words are just babblingin that presence, and babbling is a substitutefor sight. The Essential Rumi (1995)
