More quotes by Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.
Rumi
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Rumi
Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover
Rumi
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
