More quotes by Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.
Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
I come to YOU without ME, come to ME without YOU.
Rumi
There goes a river dragging an ocean behind it.
Rumi
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Love is the water of life, jump into this water.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
Rumi
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
Rumi
I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want that love that will raise the dead. I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
Rumi
Love is our steady guide on this road full of hardships.
Rumi
