Quote

The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.

Image
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
Image
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
Image
Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.
Rumi
Image
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi
Image
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Rumi
Image
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
Image
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
Rumi
Image
Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.
Rumi
Image
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
Image
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
Rumi
Image
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
Image
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
Image
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
Image
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi
Image
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
Image
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Image
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
Rumi
Image
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire.
Rumi
Image
Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
Image
I belong to the beloved. Have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know. ...First, Last, Outer, Inner, only that breath breathing. HUMAN BEING.
Rumi
