More quotes by Rumi
Why are you knocking at every door ? Go, knock at the door of your own heart.
Rumi
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
Rumi
Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
Rumi
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset
Rumi
Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.
Rumi
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
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
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
Rumi
The sun comes back every day with new and powerful secrets.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Rumi
