More quotes by Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
You have escaped the cage. Your wings are stretched out. Now fly.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.
Rumi
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
Rumi
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
Rumi
