You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
Every rose that is sweet-scented within, That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.
Rumi
Your radiance shines in every atom of creation yet our petty desires keep it hidden.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
I will soothe you and heal you, I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns.
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
Rumi
Your breath touched my soul and I saw beyond all limits.
Rumi
Everyone is overridden by thoughts that's why they have so much heartache and sorrow.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
Rumi
