More quotes by Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
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
Dance until you shatter yourself.
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Love is the water of life, jump into this water.
Rumi
Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now.
Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
God made the Illusion look Real and the Real an Illusion !
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.
Rumi
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Rumi
Actually, your soul and mine are the same. We appear and disappear with each other.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
