More quotes by Rumi
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
Rumi
In his mind she lay at his lap with his fingers gliding thru her straight beautiful hair. He smiles and says your beauty lights up everything around you.
Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
I am iron resisting the most enormous magnet there is.
Rumi
