More quotes by Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
Join the community of saints and know the delight of your own Soul. Enter the ruins of your Heart and Learn the Meaning of Humility.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
Rumi
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, But don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
Rumi
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
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
