More quotes by Rumi
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
Rumi
Oh, wandering One, if you are in search of the greatest treasure, don't look outside. Look within, and seek That.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
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
Be suspicious of what you want.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
Any one in love will have no religion.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Those who are pure in heart achieve God-consciousness they are truly and actually aware of God at the center of their being (their heart). These sanctified individuals are said to be Possessors of the Heart.
Rumi
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.
Rumi
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.
Rumi
