More quotes by Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.
Rumi
There is a sun within every person.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.
Rumi
Carry your baggage towards silence , when you seek the signs of the way.
Rumi
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
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
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
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
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
