More quotes by Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Rumi
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
Rumi
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God God is the sun.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
Close the language-door, and open the love-window
Rumi
My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage
Rumi
Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
Rumi
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
Rumi
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi
