More quotes by Rumi
Come to the Root of the Root of your Self
Rumi
If in the darkness of ignorance, you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.
Rumi
There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
I seem restless, but am deeply at ease. Branches tremble the roots are still.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
