More quotes by Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don't forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
Carry your baggage towards silence , when you seek the signs of the way.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Half-heartedne ss doesn't reach into majesty.
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Rumi
You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.......... .
Rumi
