More quotes by Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
I'm in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: fast, Bind him feet! But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point?
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey!
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
I am a bird of God's garden and I do not belong to this dusty world For a day or two they have put me here in this cage of my own body I did not come here of my own I will not return of my own to my own country.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Rumi
There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.
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
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
