BismillahirRahmanirRahim

Whirling is the comfort of the people whose spirits are alive.
Only the one who is the spirit of the spirit knows this.

O Lover of God, when you start whirling you leave the two worlds.
This world of whirling is out of the two worlds.

The ceiling of the seventh heaven is at considerable height.
But the ladder of whirling reaches and exceeds this ceiling.

Rumi.

So in the sacred dance weave ye and whirl.
Dance then, O heart, a whirling circle be.
Burn in this flame - is not the candle He?

Rumi.
