Mevlana Love Quotes

We love that is why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.

Love of one’s country is part of the faith.” But don’t take that literally! Your real “country” is where you’re heading, not where you are.

God’s jealousy’s* the cause—what can one do! Which heart by His love wasn’t torn in two!

There is a candle in the heart of man, waiting to be kindled. In separation from the Friend, there is a cut waiting to be stitched. O, you who are ignorant of endurance and the burning fire of love---- Love comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school.

look at love how it tangles with the one fallen in love look at spirit how it fuses with earth giving it new life why are you so busy with this or that or good or bad pay attention to how things blend why talk about all the known and the unknown see how the unknown merges into the known why think separately of this life and the next when one is born from the last look at your heart and tongue one feels but deaf and dumb the other speaks in words and signs look at water and fire earth and wind enemies and friends all at once the wolf and the lamb the lion and the deer far away yet together look at the unity of this spring and winter manifested in the equinox you too must mingle my friends since the earth and the sky are mingled just for you and me be like sugarcane sweet yet silent don’t get mixed up with bitter words my beloved grows right out of my own heart how much more union can there be

I could reach great heights with your love,and with longing for you I will increase a hundredfold. They ask, why are you circling him? O ignorance, I am circling myself.

Suleyman Dede was someone who spoke from a place of deep knowing, a place much greater than himself. Suleyman Dede was not just an individual while speaking. He was representing something Infinite. The love, acceptance, and belonging you felt from him made you want to be with him for the rest of your life. It made you want to never leave his side. Some said that in Suleyman Dede‘s embrace you felt as though you were in your mother‘s arms. You felt a real sense of being in a state beyond comparing, free from like or dislike. Suleyman Dede spoke with the genuine voice of the Prophet Muhammad. The love he gave came from a deep center within his heart. His heart was connected to Mevlana Rumi, and the Prophet. He was part of something that was intricately and carefully balanced. Suleyman Dede said chance did not play a role in the people he met. He knew that wherever he was, it was the right place, right time, and that he had been called for a specific service. He was awake to that. Dede said that we are never separated from God. He invited us to enter into the experience described by Surah al-Hadid: He is with you wherever you are. (p. 78-79)

If love were only spiritual, the practices of fasting and prayer would not exist. The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Hz. Muhammad, Hz. Isa (Jesus), Hz. Mevlana, or Hz. Naskar - the message comes in many forms, but the message itself is one and the same - it's the message of love, not hate - it's the message of assimilation, not dissimilation - it's the message of peace, not pieces.

All said and done, in our headstrong struggle for inclusion, we mustn't also underestimate everything we have achieved so far as a species. As a matter of fact, we've come a long way since our tribal days of division and discrimination. Let me show you how. World's most beloved poet, Mevlana Rumi, was a muslim - world's icon of civil rights, MLK, was a black person - world's greatest inspiration of science, Albert Einstein, was a German Jew - and most recently, as of 2023, PM of UK and VP of US, both are of Indian origin. So don't tell me, we've achieved nothing - don't tell me, there is no hope for integration! Integration is happening all over the world, despite the ancient impediments of intolerance and hate. Therefore, the question is not whether integration is possible - real question is, are you a part of that integration, or aren't you! Our home is planet earth - and here on earth, we all cry the same pain, smile the same joy, and live the same love.

We come much closer together when the Heart of the matter is unveiled, when the best of Hinduism and Islam and Christianity are uncovered, then we are dealing with people who love God. We're not dealing with inculturated things, with prejudices of different times and places, we're dealing with ecstatic love of God. Think of Rumi the poet, also known as Mevlana, whose delight in the reality of God caused him to dance spontaneously and it gave rise to the Dervishes of Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam.

Batı aklının...bir handikabı var. Çerçevenin içinde olmayı önemsiyor, dolayısıyla hakikati daraltıyor. Sistematik analiz kalıpları dışına çıkıldığında, boşluğa düşülüyor. Batı kültürü daha çok tüketime, görseliğe, gürültüye, eğlenceye, hıza ve hazza dayanmaktadır. Bu anlamda insanların aklı bombalanmış, bütünlüğü hasar görmüştür. Batı insanının üzerine çöken maddi ağırlık derinlikli düşünmesini ve ince duyarlıklar edinmesini engellemektedir. Bunun ne demek olduğunu çok iyi bilirim. Hakikate maruz kaldıkça, Hazreti Mevlana'nın şu sözü bana açıldı: 'Senin gürültün benim suskunluğumdur.

Don't Have to Agree, to Love (Sonnet 1347) You don't have to agree with a person completely, to love them - accept them. There are a few, I disagree with plenty, yet till death, I'll fight for them. Not all that Rumi wrote apply today, yet I love Mevlana like my own brother. Even more of Aquinas are out of date, yet like a friend I love my Thomas. Heart doesn't care about consensus of the brain, Heart only cares for an inexplicable closeness. Intellect has no bearing over heart's closeness, Often intellect is a barrier to life's wholeness. Intellect is boon, but only when it helps wholeness. Being right is not necessarily the mark of goodness.
