More quotes by Rumi
For the thirst to possess your love, Is worth my blood a hundred times.
Rumi
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
Let lovers be crazy, disgraceful and wild Those who fret about such things Aren’t in love.
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
Jesus was lost in his love for God.
Rumi
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
Whatever posessions and objects of its desires the lower self may obtain, it hangs on to them, refusing to let them go out of greed for more, or out of fear of poverty and need.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
Carry the burden smilingly and cheerfully, because patience is the key to victory.
Rumi
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Rumi
Every bird will follow it's specie.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now.
Rumi
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
