More quotes by Rumi

Image
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of lovers is really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.
Rumi
Image
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.
Rumi
Image
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
Image
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
Image
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
Image
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Image
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
Image
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Image
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Image
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Rumi
Image
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
Image
Whoever is loved is beautiful, but the opposite is not true, that whoever is beautiful is loved.
Rumi
Image
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
