More quotes by Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Love is a tree and lovers are its shade.
Rumi
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
Rumi
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. The road that leads to the City is endless Go without head and feet and you'll already be there. What else could you be? - you are That.
Rumi
There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens with wandering talk it closes.
Rumi
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
I have no fear to burn my mouth and throat I’m ready to drink every flame and more.
Rumi
Come to the Root of the Root of your Self
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
Rumi
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
