More quotes by Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.
Rumi
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Rumi
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Rumi
Finding faults is for those with tired minds.
Rumi
I am iron resisting the most enormous magnet there is.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
