Quote

My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.

More quotes by Rumi

Image
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
Image
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
Image
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
Image
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
Image
Let people catch something from your heart that will cause no discomfort, but help them to sing.
Rumi
Image
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
Image
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
Image
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
Image
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
Image
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
Image
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
Image
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
Rumi
Image
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
Image
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
Image
If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.
Rumi
Image
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
Image
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
Image
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
Rumi
Image
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
Rumi
Image
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
