More quotes by Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
God does not look at your outer forms, but at the love within your love.
Rumi
Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.
Rumi
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
Rumi
Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Rumi
Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.
Rumi
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.
Rumi
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.
Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
