Quote

Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. But this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.

More quotes by Rumi

Image
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
Image
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
Image
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Image
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
Image
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Image
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
Image
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Image
At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
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
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!
Rumi
Image
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
Image
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
Rumi
Image
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

What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.
Rumi

Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
Image
The Past, the Future, O dear, is from you you should regard both these as one.
Rumi
Image
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
Image
Kill the cow of your ego as quickly as you can, so that your inner spirit can come to life and attain true awareness.
Rumi

A Candle never Loses any of its Light while Lighting up another candle.
