Quote

Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.

If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi

If you can't smell the fragrance don't come into the garden of Love. if you are unwilling to undress don't enter into the stream of Truth. Stay where you are, don't come our way

Nothing can nourish the soul but LIGHT. Rid yourself of material needs and be set FREE.
Rumi

Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi

What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
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
Image
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi

In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.

Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
Image
The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!
Rumi
Image
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
Image
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
Rumi
Image
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
Image
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi
Image
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
