More quotes by Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
Rumi
No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing.
Rumi
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
Rumi
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings.... Leave and don't look away from the sun as you go, in whose light you're sometimes crescent, sometimes full.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
You transform all those who are touched by You.
Rumi
When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.
Rumi
The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Rumi
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.
Rumi
I was once like you, enlightened and rational, I too scoffed at lovers, Now I am drunk, crazed, thin with misery. No one is safe! Watch out.
Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
