Quote

When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.

A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
Image
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Image
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.
Rumi
Image
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Image
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
The waterwheel accepts water and turns and gives it away, weeping.
Rumi
Image
Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.
Rumi
Image
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
Image
Let your Teacher be Love itself.
Rumi
Image
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
Image
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
Image
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
Image
Be soulful. Be kind. Be in love.
Rumi
Image
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
Image
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
Image
Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don't forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.
Rumi
Image
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
Image
If in the darkness of ignorance, you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.
Rumi
Image
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
