More quotes by Rumi
Cease looking for flowers! There blooms a garden in your own home. While you look for trinkets The treasure house awaits you in your own being.
Rumi
The day is conscious of itself.
Rumi
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Rumi
Swim out of your little pond.
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
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
Rumi
Fasting blinds the body in order to open the eyes of your soul.
Rumi
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.
Rumi
Don't stray from your Heart's intent.
Rumi
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.
Rumi
