Quotes of Rumi, great Islamic Sufi Mystic

Spirituality


"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

"When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about."

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?”

“What you seek is seeking you.”

“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”

Is this guy really worth quoting? I think not.

Sounds like you do not know what a church is.
I mean in real biblical terms, you don't know what a church is.
Rather it sounds like you think a brick or wooden building with a steeple is a church.

I had a muslim friend and he repeated the line 'god says do as you will and i will be your judge' several times - there is a live and let live attitude in Islam i think we in the UK / I don't understand.

This sounds like the book of Judges where it says men did what was right in their own eyes. In other words, without God.
This is the attitude Satan loves.

The church is the people that belong to Christ of which he is head. Biblically the church is ecclessia, which means a people "called out" to a specific purpose.
A group of people going bowling can be called a church.
God is not interested in buildings made with human hands.
In fact, in the first century, the church met in homes.

Don't think I am ignorant of what the word "Church" means. However, the word has grown in meaning over time as the "Church" grew to include the place where the "Church" meets. It is sort of like a Chess Club that represents the members and also the place of meeting. The mosque will become a "Church" when the people meeting there become Christians. Get it? 😏

The Spanish Christians did not rebuild the buildings, they simply used them for Christian worship. Now, do you understand what I mean?

what attitude? Seriously what are you people reading?

I honestly dont know what you mean, I was merely disagreeing with your proclamation, and I'm not the only one. THe whole Buddhist movement repeatedly highlights the need to think for oneself.

Oh, and I really don't believe in 'Satan' the way you do.
