Mevlana: Love is the instrument to unfold divine secrets... Love is the reign timeless, dimensionless... Lover is as distinct as the moon shining among stars on the sky. Beloved is the sparkle in the heart of the Love.

Mevlana: I heard that you were planning to leave us, do not!... That you are inclined to another dear soul, to another friend, do not!... Oh Moon, fate is devistated and ruined for your sake... You are destructing us; Wasting us away, do not!... Oh you, whose presence is far beyond existence and non existence... You are leaving the realm of existence, do not... If you turned your face away, Moon would turn dark due to grief... You then incline to destroy the house of Moon too, do not!... If you had poision in the entire sweetness of yours, that would not affect us... You turn the poision into sweet, the already sweet into a poision, do not... My eye, involved in the sin of Haram, then it is the thief of beauty... Oh you worthy of theft, you are stealing, do not... If you do not hold the power to cope with Lovers... Why then are you amazed by Love, do not!... Then revolt my dear friend, this is not a moment for words... Why deal with the dizziness of Love, do not!...

Mevlana: In compassion and grace, be like the sun... In concealing other's faults, be like the night... In generosity and helping others, be like a river... In anger and fury, be like dead... In modesty and humility, be like the earth... In tolerance, be like the sea... Either appear as you are, or be as you appear... Come, come again, whomever you are, do come! Even if you are heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, just come! Ours is not the house of despair but hope... Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times.
