More quotes by Rumi
Whatever you are looking for can only be found inside of you.
Rumi
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
Rumi
What strikes the oyster shell doesn't damage the pearl.
Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
The agony of lovers burns with the fire of passion. Lovers leave traces of where they've been. The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God.
Rumi
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.
Rumi
Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
Rumi
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Why are you knocking at every door ? Go, knock at the door of your own heart.
Rumi
A Candle never Loses any of its Light while Lighting up another candle.
Rumi
