More quotes by Rumi
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
Rumi
Never lose hope when the beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Rumi
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
The Past, the Future, O dear, is from you you should regard both these as one.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
Whenever they rebuild an old building, they must first of all destroy the old one.
Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
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
