I asked my heart: "Why do we need a mirror for?" "So you can see the reflections of body image in it. You only paint over the metal frame of an external mirror, but your inner mirror is the pure reflection of your divine soul. The mirror of your soul won't reflect the image of the Beloved, until your face has fully acquired the divine reflections of God."

Professor William Chittick, one of the greatest contemporary American scholars of Sufism, has authored numerous books on Rumi, Sufism, and particularly on the life and teachings of the great 13th century Spanish -born Sufi master and philosopher, Ibn Arabi. Some of Prof. Chittick's outstanding  scholarly works include: Sufism: A Beginner's Guide. The Sufi Doctrine of Rumi. The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi. The Sufi Path of Knowledge: Ibn al-Arabi's Metaphysics of Imagination. The Inner Journey: Views from the Islamic Tradition. Prof. Chittick's masterpiece though, in my very humble opinion, is his outstanding English translation of Shams Tabrizi's 'Maqalat - ??? ??????- ??????', literally meaning Articles, which he has titled as ' Me and Rumi: The Autobiography of Shams Tabrizi ', also A MUST READ book for anyone interested in getting to know Rumi's mystical lover and spiritual master, Shams of Tabriz.

What's the task of a lover, if not always behaving completely insane? What's the flirting of a lover, if not always pretending to be a complete stranger? Go and learn from an atom how to get entirely dissolved into the light. Go and learn from a moth how to man up in front of a burning flame. Go and step out right into your battlefields like a brave and roaring lion. Don't even think for an instant how your battles might begin or end. Do you know embarrassing it is for a brave lion not to face a scared fox?!

The Self and the Other in Ibn Arabi and Rumi By Professor S�leyman Derin Associate professor, Marmara University, Faculty of Theology - Istanbul-Turkey "What are the borders between my self and other? How should be the relationship with different selves? Sufism has great potential to give answers to such an experiential problem. Among Sufis, Ibn Arabi and Rumi have ideas which complete each other. Avni Konuk who interprets Rumi�s Mathnawi through the eyes of Ibn Arabi, is the connection point between these two great Sufis..."

Open my grave when I am dead,  and you'll see a cloud of smoke rising out from it;  then you'll know that the fire still burns in my dead heart- yeah, it has set my very winding-sheet ablaze. ~Hafiz Shirazi Returning The morning breeze comes back  and from the southern desert  the lapwing returns  The dove's soft song about roses  I hear that again.  The tulip, who understands what the lily says,  went away, but now she's back.  With the sound of a bell,  strength and gentleness.  Hafiz broke his vow and damaged his heart,  but now, for no reason, his Friend forgives that,  and turns, and walks back up to his door. ~Hafiz - Translated by Coleman Barks " Hafiz of Shiraz (1325 - 1390) is the greatest Persian poet. The poetry of Hafiz is erotic yet spiritual, both sensual and symbolic, full of images of wine and the tavern, of the Beloved, and of nightingales and roses. Hafiz, a Sufi poet, expressed in poetry love for the Divine, and the intoxicating oneness of union
