More quotes by Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
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
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Life is balance of holding on and letting go.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
When someone mentions the gracefulness of the night sky, climb up on the roof and dance and say, like this?
Rumi
Swim out of your little pond.
Rumi
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Rumi
I am not from east or west not up from the ground or out of the ocean my place is placeless a trace of the traceless I belong to the beloved
Rumi
Don't dismiss the heart, even if it's filled with sorrow. God's treasures are buried in broken hearts.
Rumi
From the Distance You only See My Light Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
Rumi
It was our Creator who led us through the stages of evolution, from the animal state to the human. His purpose was to make us intelligent and aware, so that we might know Him.
Rumi
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
