More quotes by Rumi
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
Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum.
Rumi
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
Whoever's calm and sensible is insane!
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
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
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
Rumi
Hungry, you're a dog, angry and bad-natured. having eaten your fill, you become a carcass you lie down like a wall, senseless. At one time a dog, at another time a carcass, how will you run with lions, or follow the saints?
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
