More quotes by Rumi
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens with wandering talk it closes.
Rumi
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
Love risks everything and asks for nothing.
Rumi
Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises
Rumi
Raise your words, not your voice.
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
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
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum.
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.
Rumi
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey!
Rumi
