More quotes by Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Rumi
O my choice beauty You've gone But your love remains in my heart Your image in my eye O guide on my winding road I keep turning round and round in the hopes of Finding you
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Let the beauty we love do what we do.
Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
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
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
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
Someday our souls will be one and our union will be forever. I know that everything I give you comes back to me. So I give you my life , hoping that you will come back to me.
Rumi
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
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
Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.
Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
