More quotes by Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
I will soothe you and heal you, I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns.
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.
Rumi
There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.
Rumi
