More quotes by Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
I am part of the load not rightly balanced . . .
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
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
Whoever's calm and sensible is insane!
Rumi
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.
Rumi
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
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
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance
Rumi
I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!
Rumi
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
Rumi
We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
Rumi
The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.
Rumi
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
