More quotes by Rumi
Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
Rumi
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
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
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
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
Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi
I was dead, then alive. Weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I became fierce like a lion, then tender like the evening star.
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.
Rumi
And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.
Rumi
Hear from the heart wordless mysteries.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
Prayer clears the mist and brings back peace to the Soul . . .
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your heart.
Rumi
That hurt we embrace becomes joy. Call it to your arms where it can change.
Rumi
