More quotes by Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.
Rumi
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
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
Inside you there’s an artist you don’t know about… say yes quickly, if you know, if you’ve known it from before the beginning of the universe.
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
Heartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands look for something, will find it.
Rumi
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
You moan, She left me. He left me, Twenty more will come.
Rumi
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
Awe is the salve that will heal our eyes.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
