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.
Excerpt from Soul, Heart, and Body One Morning
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.Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.from Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
by Jalal al-Din Rumi

This quote has given me the inner power and thrust to go forward and understand Rumi’s literature and Sufism.
