More quotes by Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Someone who goes with a half a loaf of bread to a small place that fits like a nest around him, someone who wants no more, who is not himself longed for by anyone else. He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
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
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
Deep in the HEART every mystery of spirit is hidden.
Rumi
Patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
Keep digging your well. Water is there somewhere.
Rumi
Don't see yourself as a body of clay See yourself as a mirror reflecting the divine beauty.
Rumi
If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.
Rumi
Dear soul, don't set a high value on someone before they deserve it You either lose them or ruin yourself...!
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.
Rumi
Flowers every night Blossom in the sky Peace in the Infinite, At peace am I.
Rumi
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?
Rumi
