“Sleep, my friend, but if you do
the light of Truth will slip by you unnoticed.
Asleep in the darkness of the night
you will miss the splendour of the dawn.”
—Rumi’s Little Book of Love: 150 Poems That Speak to the Heart

Taste the joy of true faith
And the temptations of the world will fade.
But from a brain so easily tippled expect little.
Sell your brain and buy bewilderment!
Such an exchange will bring you a great profit.
—from Rumi’s Little Book of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit
