Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
Rumi

If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.

A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi

Rumi
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves.
Rumi
I'm in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: fast, Bind him feet! But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point?
Rumi
I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!'
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
Go my friend bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen.
Rumi
Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?
Rumi
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
I found the Divine within my Heart.
Rumi
