You’re a song, a wished-for song.
Rumi
My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage
Rumi
From the urgent way lovers want each other to the seeker's search for truth, all moving is from the mover. Every Pull Draws Us To The Ocean.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Rumi
Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry Happy the eye that sheds tears for His sake Fortunate the heart that burns for His sake Laughter always follow tears Blessed are those who understand Life blossoms wherever water flows Where tears are shed divine mercy is shown
Rumi
And watch two men washing clothes, one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony. Every holy person seems to have a different doctrine and practice, but there's really only one work.
Rumi
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
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
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, LOVE is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of time- Side by side, step by step.
Rumi
I am a bird of God's garden and I do not belong to this dusty world For a day or two they have put me here in this cage of my own body I did not come here of my own I will not return of my own to my own country.
Rumi
Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
