Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.

Image
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Image
Whosoever knoweth the power of the dance, dwelleth in God.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Image
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
Image
If you # love love, look for yourself.
Rumi
Image
The pure heart is a spotless mirror in which images of infinite beauty are reflected.
Rumi
Image
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
Image
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Image
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
Image
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
When someone mentions the gracefulness of the night sky, climb up on the roof and dance and say, like this?
Rumi
Image
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover
Rumi
Image
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
Image
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
Image
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
Image
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi
Image
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.
Rumi
Image
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
