More quotes by Rumi
Prayer clears the mist and brings back peace to the Soul . . .
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
The heart is cooking a pot of food for you. Be patient until it is cooked
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
The satiated person and the hungry one do not see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread.
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
