More quotes by Rumi
Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Rumi
I have no name for what circles so perfectly.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
Regard a king as someone unconcerned with kingship.
Rumi
Love risks everything and asks for nothing.
Rumi
Don't stray from your Heart's intent.
Rumi
It's your road & yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi
If you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
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
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
