More quotes by Rumi
Let lovers be crazy, disgraceful and wild Those who fret about such things Aren’t in love.
Rumi
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
Rumi
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
Although I may try to describe Love, When I experience it, I am speechless.
Rumi
I seem restless, but am deeply at ease. Branches tremble the roots are still.
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
Rumi
This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
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 are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
Rumi
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious
Rumi
Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi
Passion makes the old medicine new: Passion lops off the bough of weariness. Passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Rumi
Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
