More quotes by Rumi
When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Rumi
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
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
If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
The Past, the Future, O dear, is from you you should regard both these as one.
Rumi
If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.
Rumi
There is a path from me to you that I am constantly looking for.
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.
Rumi
If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.
Rumi
