About breaking hearts

To be real on this path you must be humble.
If you look down at others you'll get pushed down the stairs.

If your heart goes around on high, you fly far from this path.

There's no use hiding it What's inside always leaks outside.

Even the one with the long white beard, the one who looks so wise.
If he breaks a single heart, why bother going to Mecca?

If he has no compassion, what's the point?


My heart is the throne of the Beloved,
the Beloved the heart's destiny:
Whoever breaks another's heart will find no homecoming in this world or any other.

The ones who know say very little while the beasts are always speaking volumes;
One word is enough for one who knows.


If there is any meaning in the holy books, it is this:
Whatever is good for you, grant it to others too


Whoever comes to this earth migrates back;
Whoever drinks the wine of love understands what I say


Yunus, don't look down at the world in scorn Keep your eyes fixed on your Beloved's face,
then you will not see the bridgeon Judgment Day

Yunus Emre
