Quote

There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.

Image
Come into my eyes, and look at me through them, for I have chosen a home far beyond what eyes can see.
Rumi
Image
Flow down and down in always widening rings of being.
Rumi
Image
Love is the Water of Life Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar- eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the Water of Life.
Rumi
Image
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
Rumi
Image
Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
Rumi
Image
You’re a song, a wished-for song.
Rumi

When you seek Love with all your Heart, you shall find its echoes in the universe.

What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi

I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Rumi
Image
Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.
Rumi
Image
The satiated person and the hungry one do not see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread.
Rumi
Image
This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.
Rumi
Image
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Image
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
Rumi

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi

The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Image
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
Image
There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
Rumi
Image
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi

Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?
Rumi
