Quote

Whoever is sitting with friends is in the midst of a flower garden, though he may be in the fire. Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire, even though he is in the midst of a garden.

Even though you're not equipped, keep searching: equipment isn't necessary on the way to the Lord.
Rumi
Image
I am a drunkard from another kind of tavern. I dance to a silent tune. I am the symphony of stars.
Rumi
Image
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Image
...Blessed is anyone who knows who he or she really is and builds a place to live there.
Rumi
Image
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Image
Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.

Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
Image
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
Image
Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.
Rumi
Image
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.

What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
Image
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Image
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings.... Leave and don't look away from the sun as you go, in whose light you're sometimes crescent, sometimes full.
Rumi
Image
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi
Image
Now I am sober and there's only the hangover and the memory of love.
Rumi
Image
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
Image
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
