More quotes by Rumi
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
Rumi
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you?
Rumi
The Heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
When water is still like a mirror it can behold the Moon.
Rumi
Ground yourself, strip yourself down, To blind loving Silence
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
Mount the stallion of love and do not fear the path, love’s stallion knows the way exactly. With one leap, Love’s horse will carry you home.
Rumi
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
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
Speak little, learn the words of eternity. Go beyond your tangled thoughts and find the splendor of paradise.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
I found the Divine within my Heart.
Rumi
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. The road that leads to the City is endless Go without head and feet and you'll already be there. What else could you be? - you are That.
Rumi
You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.
Rumi
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
