This mirror inside me shows. I can’t say what, but I can’t not know. I run from body. I run from spirit. I do not belong anywhere.

More quotes by Rumi
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Rumi
Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
Through love scraps of copper are turned to gold.
Rumi
You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
Jesus was lost in his love for God.
Rumi
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
Rumi
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
