More quotes by Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
Rumi
I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.
Rumi
Flowers every night Blossom in the sky Peace in the Infinite, At peace am I.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
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
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
I seem restless, but am deeply at ease. Branches tremble the roots are still.
Rumi
Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison When the door is so wide open?
Rumi
Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry Happy the eye that sheds tears for His sake Fortunate the heart that burns for His sake Laughter always follow tears Blessed are those who understand Life blossoms wherever water flows Where tears are shed divine mercy is shown
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love. We are running to contemplate its vast green field. Do you want to come with us?
Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
