More quotes by 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
This mirror inside me shows. I can’t say what, but I can’t not know. I run from body. I run from spirit. I do not belong anywhere.
Rumi
Love has come to rule and transform Stay awake, my heart, stay awake.
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.
Rumi
Your mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe. When you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear.
Rumi
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.
Rumi
The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?
Rumi
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Rumi
As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
Rumi
If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
