More quotes by 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
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
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
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
The breath of the flute player: does it belong to the flute?
Rumi
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Rumi
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
Rumi
Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
