WORDS OF WİSDOM FROM MAWLANA (from Konya to the World)

   

• That you become a slave to a man of enlightened heart is better (for you) than that you should walk upon the crown of the head of kings.
• Grief is better than the empire of the World, so that you may call unto God in secret.
• This world is the mountain, and our action the shout : the echo of the shouts come (back) to us.
• Give thanks (to God) and be a slave to those who give thanks : be in their presence (as one) dead, be steadfast.
• What is the world? TO BE FORGETFUL OF GOD ; IT IS NOT MERCHANDISE AND SILVER AND WEIGHING_SCALES AND WOMEN.
• Oh, many the one that is sweet as sugar, but poison is concealed in the sugar.
• Seek the pearl in the oyster-shell, my brother, and seek technical skill from the craftsmen.
• When you have acted loyally in (keeping) your covenant with God, God will graciously keep His covenant with you.
• Choose the love of that Living One who is everlasting, who gives thee to drink of the wine that increases life.
