More quotes by Rumi
Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
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
Learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
The branch might seem like the fruit's origin: In fact, the branch exist because of the fruit.
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow?
Rumi
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.
Rumi
Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
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
