More quotes by Rumi
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being.
Rumi
Although I may try to describe Love, When I experience it, I am speechless.
Rumi
You are as you are, an indescribable message on the air.
Rumi
The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.
Rumi
Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant.
Rumi
I am an ark in the swift flood of time, and my companions, a fellowship. Who throws in with us sails into light.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
There is my body, in it an ocean formed of his glory, all the creation, all the universes, all the galaxies, are lost in it.
Rumi
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Rumi
What a piece of bread looks like depends on whether you are hungry or not.
Rumi
