Quote

Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.

Image
Love, the supreme musician, is always playing in our souls
Rumi
Image
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
Image
You've been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under, and deeper under, a thousand times deeper!
Rumi
Image
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
Image
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
Image
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
Image
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
Image
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
Image
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
Image
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi
Image
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
Image
Look as long as you can at the friend you love, no matter whether that friend is moving away from you or coming back toward you.
Rumi
Image
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
Rumi
Image
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
Rumi
Image
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.
Rumi
Image
Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.
Rumi
Image
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
Image
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
Image
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
Rumi
Image
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
