More quotes by Rumi
Come to the Root of the Root of your Self
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
If thou has not seen the devil, look at thine own self.
Rumi
Whatever you are looking for can only be found inside of you.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
In our hearts there burns a fire... That burns all veils to their root and foundation When those veils have been burned away Then the heart will understand completely. Ancient love will unfold ever-fresh forms In the heart of the Spirit, In the core of the heart.
Rumi
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Finding faults is for those with tired minds.
Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody.
Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
