Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.
Rumi
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
By the mercy of Allah Paradise has eight doors one of those is the door of repentance, child. All the others are sometimes open, sometimes shut, but the door of repentance is never closed. Come seize the opportunity: the door is open carry your baggage there at once.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Look as long as you can at the friend you love, no matter whether that friend is moving away from you or coming back toward you.
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi
I don’t know why when I look at you, I see myself
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of lovers is really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.
Rumi
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
