More quotes by Rumi
Humble yourself, you’ll grow greater than the world.Your Self will be revealed to you, without you.
Rumi
If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Rumi
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
In things spiritual, there is no partition, no number, no individuals. How sweet is the oneness-unearth the treasure of Unity.
Rumi
Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived, and it's always in motion.
Rumi
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
Rumi
I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
Rumi
With each passing moment, a Soul sets off to find Itself.
Rumi
