There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there seek inside.
Rumi
Image
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Image
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
Image
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
Image
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
Image
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
Image
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Rumi
Image
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Rumi
Image
Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.
Rumi
Image
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
Image
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Image
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Image
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.
Rumi
Image
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
Image
Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands look for something, will find it.
Rumi

Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
