More quotes by Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
Rumi
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
Rumi
In this earth, in this immaculate field, we shall not plant any seeds except for compassion, except for love.
Rumi
The satiated person and the hungry one do not see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread.
Rumi
Travel brings power and love back into your life.
Rumi
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me.
Rumi
The heart is cooking a pot of food for you. Be patient until it is cooked
Rumi
Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.
Rumi
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
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
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi
I am part of the load not rightly balanced . . .
Rumi
What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
