More quotes by Rumi
Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song.
Rumi
There goes a river dragging an ocean behind it.
Rumi
I belong to the beloved. Have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know. ...First, Last, Outer, Inner, only that breath breathing. HUMAN BEING.
Rumi
For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden for the land animals, it is death and pain.
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, LOVE is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of time- Side by side, step by step.
Rumi
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.
Rumi
Love is an emotion. Totally silent and inexpressible with words.
Rumi
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.
Rumi
Whoever is sitting with friends is in the midst of a flower garden, though he may be in the fire. Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire, even though he is in the midst of a garden.
Rumi
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
