More quotes by Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
Rumi
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
There is a window from one heart to another heart.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
Your task? To work with all the passion of your being to acquire an inner light.
Rumi
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
You have been hiding so long aimlessly drifting in the sea of my love Even so You have always been connected to me Connected, revealed in the known in the unmanifest I am life itself
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
