More quotes by 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
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of lovers is really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.
Rumi
If your thought is a rose, you are a rose garden and if it is a thistle, you are fuel for the fire.
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
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
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
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset
Rumi
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
Rumi
There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
