More quotes by Rumi
Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
Rumi
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
Rumi
I come to YOU without ME, come to ME without YOU.
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
Rumi
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
Be silent. That heart speaks without tongue or lips.
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
Love has come to rule and transform Stay awake, my heart, stay awake.
Rumi
There is only one search: wandering... no dogma and no heresy.
Rumi
Try something different. Surrender.
Rumi
The branch might seem like the fruit's origin: In fact, the branch exist because of the fruit.
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
If thou wilt be observant and vigilant, thou wilt see at every moment the response to thy action. Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart, for something is born to thee in consequence of every action.
Rumi
