More quotes by Rumi
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Rumi
Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
The work of magic is this, that it breathes and at every breath transforms realities.
Rumi
Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises
Rumi
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
Rumi
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
Rumi
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.
Rumi
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Rumi
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
