More quotes by Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
If the wine drinker has a deep gentleness in him, he will show that when drunk. But if he has hidden anger and arrogance, those appear.
Rumi
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
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
To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your heart.
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
You've been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under, and deeper under, a thousand times deeper!
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
Rumi
Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
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
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.
Rumi
Travel brings power and love back into your life.
Rumi
A pure heart, open to the Light, will be filled with the elixir of Truth.
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
