More quotes by Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
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
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Rumi
The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow?
Rumi
The body itself is to reveal the light that's blazing inside your Presence.
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
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
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
The waterwheel accepts water and turns and gives it away, weeping.
Rumi
