Quote

Don't run away from grief, o’ soul/ Look for the remedy inside the pain/ because the rose came from the thorn/ and the ruby came from a stone.

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
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
Image
Our purpose here on earth: to manifest the very nature of our spirit, which is touched by the spirit of God.
Rumi
Image
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
Image
Why are you knocking at every door ? Go, knock at the door of your own heart.
Rumi
Image
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
Image
To Love is to be God. Never will a Lover's chest feel any sorrow. Never will a Lover's robe be touched by mortals. Never will a Lover's body be found buried in the earth. To Love is to be God.
Rumi
Image
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Rumi
Image
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Image
There is a window between heart and heart: They are never separate like two bodies. Two lamps may not be united in their form - But their light merges into each other.
Rumi
Image
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
Rumi
Image
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
Rumi
Image
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Image
When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Image
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Image
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
Image
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
Image
Love is the Water of Life Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar- eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the Water of Life.
Rumi
