More quotes by Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
Rumi
Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked as better or worse than one another . . . It's all praise, and it's all right.
Rumi
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
Rumi
People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.
Rumi
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
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
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.
Rumi
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
On this path let the heart be your guide.
Rumi
