More quotes by Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
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
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.
Rumi
At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love: We are going to sky, who wants to come with us? We have gone to Heaven, we have been the friends of the angels, And now we will go back there, for there is our country.
Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
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
For the thirst to possess your love, Is worth my blood a hundred times.
Rumi
