Quote

This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.

Rumi
Image
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
Image
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
Image
The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?
Rumi
Image
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Rumi

And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi

Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
Image
How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!
Rumi

Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul.
Rumi
Image
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
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
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
Image
Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.
Rumi
Image
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi

If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.

The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
Rumi
Image
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
