More quotes by 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
Your heart mirrors not His love, Rusty with your sins it is, Remove this rust and you shall Perceive how Glorious He is.
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
From the urgent way lovers want each other to the seeker's search for truth, all moving is from the mover. Every Pull Draws Us To The Ocean.
Rumi
Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Start now.
Rumi
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Carry your baggage towards silence , when you seek the signs of the way.
Rumi
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!
Rumi
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
