More quotes by Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Rumi
Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.
Rumi
If the wine drinker has a deep gentleness in him, he will show that when drunk. But if he has hidden anger and arrogance, those appear.
Rumi
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
Rumi
Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.
Rumi
Someday our souls will be one and our union will be forever. I know that everything I give you comes back to me. So I give you my life , hoping that you will come back to me.
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
Fasting blinds the body in order to open the eyes of your soul.
Rumi
Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
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
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
Rumi
At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love: We are going to sky, who wants to come with us? We have gone to Heaven, we have been the friends of the angels, And now we will go back there, for there is our country.
Rumi
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
