Rumi Teaching of the Moment

Speech is of three kinds; the first comes from the desire of the self, the
second from reason and the third from love.
Speech which arises from desire is troubling and insipid,
giving neither pleasure to those who speak,
nor profit to those who listen.
That which arises from reason is accepted by the wise
and gives pleasure to the listener and the speaker,
and speech that arises from love
enraptures those who listen and those who speak.
Excerpt from the Menaqib al-Arifin, words of Mevlana Rumi from The Stories of the Wise of the Mevlevi
Tradition, #414,
