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.

That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
Image
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi

Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
Image
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Image
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
Rumi
Image
We are all the same ... all the same... longing to find our way back ... back to the One ... back to the Only One!
Rumi
Image
Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
Rumi
Image
Heartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.
Rumi
Image
To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your heart.
Rumi
Image
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Image
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
Image
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Image
Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
Rumi
Image
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
Image
If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.
Rumi
Image
Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.
Rumi
Image
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Image
I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.
Rumi
Image
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
Rumi
Image
God made the Illusion look Real and the Real an Illusion !
