More quotes by Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
Rumi
Humble yourself, you’ll grow greater than the world.Your Self will be revealed to you, without you.
Rumi
Lo, for I to myself am unknown, now in God's name what must I do?
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Carry the burden smilingly and cheerfully, because patience is the key to victory.
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Rumi
Your kindness cannot be said. You open doors in the sky. You ease the heart and make God's qualities visible.
Rumi
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
Rumi
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Rumi
As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
Those who are pure in heart achieve God-consciousness they are truly and actually aware of God at the center of their being (their heart). These sanctified individuals are said to be Possessors of the Heart.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
