More quotes by Rumi
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
I will soothe you and heal you, I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
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
LOVE is what gives joy to giving joy.
Rumi
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
Rumi
With each passing moment, a Soul sets off to find Itself.
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
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
