A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
Image
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
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
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
Image
True beauty is a ray that springs from the sacred depths of the soul.
Rumi
Image
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
Image
Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul.
Rumi
Image
Pull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast! For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.
Rumi
Image
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
Image
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Rumi
Image
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
Rumi
Image
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Image
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Rumi
Image
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
Image
Love is the Water of Life Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar- eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the Water of Life.
Rumi
Image
The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
Rumi
Image
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
Image
Be suspicious of what you want.
Rumi
Image
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
Image
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
