The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.

When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
Image
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi

Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
Image
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
Image
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
Image
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
Rumi

The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
Image
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.
Rumi
Image
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
Image
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
Image
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
Rumi
Image
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
