More quotes by Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
To Love is to be God. Never will a Lover's chest feel any sorrow. Never will a Lover's robe be touched by mortals. Never will a Lover's body be found buried in the earth. To Love is to be God.
Rumi
We may know who we are or we may not. We may be Muslims, Jews or Christians but until our hearts become the mould for every heart we will see only our differences.
Rumi
Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.
Rumi
What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of lovers is really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.
Rumi
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
Rumi
Half-heartedne ss doesn't reach into majesty.
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
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
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
There is only one search: wandering... no dogma and no heresy.
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
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
I am part of the load not rightly balanced . . .
Rumi
In this life many demolitions are actually renovations.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
