More quotes by Rumi
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.
Rumi
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
I am a child whose teacher is LOVE surely my master won't let me grow to be a fool.
Rumi
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
Rumi
Your real country is where you're heading, not where you are.
Rumi
Try something different. Surrender.
Rumi
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
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
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
I have no name for what circles so perfectly.
Rumi
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
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
