More quotes by Rumi
My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage
Rumi
Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.
Rumi
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
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
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
I can heal a broken heart with a smile.
Rumi
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
