More quotes by Rumi
Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.
Rumi
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
Rumi
Now I am sober and there's only the hangover and the memory of love.
Rumi
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy
Rumi
Everything you possess of skill, and wealth, and handicraft, wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest?
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
Let lovers be crazy, disgraceful and wild Those who fret about such things Aren’t in love.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi
Why should I be weary when every cell of my body is bursting with life?
Rumi
Your kindness cannot be said. You open doors in the sky. You ease the heart and make God's qualities visible.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
