More quotes by Rumi
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That.
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.
Rumi
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
I belong to the beloved. Have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know. ...First, Last, Outer, Inner, only that breath breathing. HUMAN BEING.
Rumi
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi
The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.
Rumi
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
Rumi
Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
