More quotes by Rumi
Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
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
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
Rumi
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a Lover
Rumi
Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
Rumi
When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
Rumi
If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.
Rumi
Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
Rumi
Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
Hungry, you're a dog, angry and bad-natured. having eaten your fill, you become a carcass you lie down like a wall, senseless. At one time a dog, at another time a carcass, how will you run with lions, or follow the saints?
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
What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
Love is our steady guide on this road full of hardships.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?
Rumi
