More quotes by Rumi
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
In the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his hear.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
You have no need to travel anywhere - journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
Rumi
Each moment contains a hundred messages from God.
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
If you can't smell the fragrance don't come into the garden of Love. if you are unwilling to undress don't enter into the stream of Truth. Stay where you are, don't come our way
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
Rumi
