More quotes by Rumi
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire.
Rumi
Regard a king as someone unconcerned with kingship.
Rumi
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
What strikes the oyster shell doesn't damage the pearl.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
We are all the same ... all the same... longing to find our way back ... back to the One ... back to the Only One!
Rumi
Whatever posessions and objects of its desires the lower self may obtain, it hangs on to them, refusing to let them go out of greed for more, or out of fear of poverty and need.
Rumi
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
Rumi
When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Rumi
