More quotes by Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
When water is still like a mirror it can behold the Moon.
Rumi
Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.
Rumi
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Look as long as you can at the friend you love, no matter whether that friend is moving away from you or coming back toward you.
Rumi
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.
Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
I am not from east or west not up from the ground or out of the ocean my place is placeless a trace of the traceless I belong to the beloved
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance
Rumi
