More quotes by Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.
Rumi
Close the language-door, and open the love-window
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
I have no fear to burn my mouth and throat I’m ready to drink every flame and more.
Rumi
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
Rumi
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
When something goes wrong, accuse yourself first. Even the wisdom of Plato or Solomon can wobble and go blind
Rumi
I found the Divine within my Heart.
Rumi
Love, the supreme musician, is always playing in our souls
Rumi
Let the beauty we love do what we do.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
The beginning of pride and hatred lies in worldly desire, and the strength of your desire if from habit. When an evil tendency becomes confirmed by habit, rage is triggered when anyone restrains you.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
Heartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.
Rumi
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
