More quotes by Rumi
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
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.
Rumi
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body, Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.
Rumi
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
You transform all those who are touched by You.
Rumi
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
Rumi
