More quotes by Rumi
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
Rumi
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
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
The water has a Water that is driving it The spirit has a Spirit that is Calling it.
Rumi
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
