I was dead, then alive. Weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I became fierce like a lion, then tender like the evening star.

More quotes by Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
The result of my life is no more than three words: I was raw, I became cooked, I was burnt.
Rumi
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
Rumi
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
Don't regret what's happened. If it's in the past, LET IT GO. Don't even remember it!
Rumi
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Rumi
While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
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
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises
Rumi
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
Rumi
