More quotes by Rumi
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
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
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
We may know who we are or we may not. We may be Muslims, Jews or Christians but until our hearts become the mould for every heart we will see only our differences.
Rumi
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Rumi
You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
Rumi
Let the beauty we love do what we do.
Rumi
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
Rumi
