"When your heart becomes the grave of..." - Quote by Rumi
When your heart becomes the grave of your secrets, that desire of yours will be gained more quickly. The prophet said that anyone who keeps secret his inmost thought will soon attain the object of his desire. When seeds are buried in the earth, their inward secrets become the flourishing garden.

“Fear is the fatal killer of desire.”
“The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.”
“When we think carefully, we see that the brief elation we experience when appeasing sensual impulses may not be very different from what the drug addict feels when indulging his or her habit.
