Rumi

Rumi
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Rumi
I said, O Love, tell me this: Does the Lord know you are treating me this way? Love said to me, yes He does, just be totally… totally… silent
Rumi
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.
Rumi
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Don't argue or answer rationally. Let us die, and dying, reply.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.
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
