Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
Image
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Image
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Rumi
Image

Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
Image
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
Image
Pure souls, didn’t I tell you not to be seduced by this colorful world for I am the Ultimate Painter.
Rumi
Image
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
Image
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
Image
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.
Rumi
Image
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
Rumi
Image
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
Image
I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.
Rumi
Image
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Image
This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.
Rumi
Image
We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror
Rumi
