More quotes by 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
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
Rumi
Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now.
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
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
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
You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.
Rumi
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
Rumi
You have been hiding so long aimlessly drifting in the sea of my love Even so You have always been connected to me Connected, revealed in the known in the unmanifest I am life itself
Rumi
Everything that you want, you are already that.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
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
