Life Quote by Matthew Fox
““Rumi speaks often of the power of silence to take us to what we are looking for. In one poem he says: We search for him here and there while looking right at Him. Sitting at His side we ask, “O Beloved, where is the Beloved?” Enough with such questions! — Let silence take you to the core of life. All your talk is worthless When compared to one whisper of the Beloved.””
