Quote

When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.

The water has a Water that is driving it The spirit has a Spirit that is Calling it.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi
Image
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
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
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Image
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there.
Rumi
Image
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
Image
Your real country is where you're heading, not where you are.
Rumi
Image
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
Image
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
Image
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
Image
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
Image
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.
Rumi
Image
Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
Rumi
Image
Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Image
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
