More quotes by Rumi
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Your task? To work with all the passion of your being to acquire an inner light.
Rumi
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
