More quotes by Rumi
I was once like you, enlightened and rational, I too scoffed at lovers, Now I am drunk, crazed, thin with misery. No one is safe! Watch out.
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
