More quotes by Rumi
But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.
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
But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
Rumi
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
Rumi
To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.
Rumi
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.
Rumi
Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
