More quotes by Rumi
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
In your beauty, how to make poems.
Rumi
When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
Lovers have heartaches That can't be cured by drugs Or sleep, Or games, But only by seeing their beloved.
Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
