More quotes by Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi

Rumi
Your breath touched my soul and I saw beyond all limits.
Rumi
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!
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
Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
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
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious
Rumi
Our purpose here on earth: to manifest the very nature of our spirit, which is touched by the spirit of God.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
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
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
