Rumi's teachings and Sufism are becoming popular in the West. The following are some of his verses about Love:

You are such an ocean of Love,

That you have no boundary.

The desire man and woman

Feel for each other

Is only a drop from that ocean.

Real Love and Pure Love manifests itself as an ecstasy and as different stages of annihilation.

It appears that Love was born from me,

But don't believe that.

n fact, I was born from that Love.

The one who is not aware of the beginning,

Is the one who is first

On the road of Love.

Love is the only panacea that saves humans:

I was dead, and then came back to life.

I was a cry, then I became a smile.

Love came, and turned me into everlasting glory.
