Quote

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.

At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love: We are going to sky, who wants to come with us? We have gone to Heaven, we have been the friends of the angels, And now we will go back there, for there is our country.
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

If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
Rumi
Image
Love is an emotion. Totally silent and inexpressible with words.
Rumi
Image
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
Image
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love die in Love if you want to remain alive.
Rumi

Be soulful. Be kind. Be in love.
Rumi

Someday our souls will be one and our union will be forever. I know that everything I give you comes back to me. So I give you my life , hoping that you will come back to me.
Rumi
Image
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi

You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.

What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi

Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
Image
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
Image
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
Image
In this earth, in this immaculate field, we shall not plant any seeds except for compassion, except for love.
Rumi

You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
