Quote

Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.

There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Image
You have been hiding so long aimlessly drifting in the sea of my love Even so You have always been connected to me Connected, revealed in the known in the unmanifest I am life itself
Rumi
Image
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
Image
Someday our souls will be one and our union will be forever. I know that everything I give you comes back to me. So I give you my life , hoping that you will come back to me.
Rumi
Image
Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.
Rumi
Image
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
Image
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
Image
Oh! joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color! For beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.
Rumi
Image
Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.
Rumi
Image
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
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
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Image
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
Image
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Rumi
Image
You cannot learn about Love, LOVE appears on the wings of grace.
Rumi
Image
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Image
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Rumi
Image
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Image
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
Image
Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
Rumi
