Image
You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.
Rumi
Image
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Image
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Image
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
Image
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
Image
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
Image
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
Image
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi
Image
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.
Rumi
Image
When something goes wrong, accuse yourself first. Even the wisdom of Plato or Solomon can wobble and go blind
Rumi
Image
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
Image
Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Rumi
Image
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Image
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
Image
Oh Beloved, take me. Liberate my soul. Fill me with your love and release me from the two worlds. If I set my heart on anything but you let fire burn me from inside. Oh Beloved, take away what I want. Take away what I do. Take away what I need. Take away everything that takes me from you.
Rumi
Image
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Image
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
Image
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
Image
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi
Image
Nothing I say can explain to you Divine Love Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
Rumi
