More quotes by Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
Rumi
Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
Rumi
Cease looking for flowers! There blooms a garden in your own home. While you look for trinkets The treasure house awaits you in your own being.
Rumi
Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
Rumi
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
O my choice beauty You've gone But your love remains in my heart Your image in my eye O guide on my winding road I keep turning round and round in the hopes of Finding you
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
