More quotes by Rumi
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Rumi
Flowers every night Blossom in the sky Peace in the Infinite, At peace am I.
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
Love has come to rule and transform Stay awake, my heart, stay awake.
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
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
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
