More quotes by Rumi
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
Rumi
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
To Love is to be God. Never will a Lover's chest feel any sorrow. Never will a Lover's robe be touched by mortals. Never will a Lover's body be found buried in the earth. To Love is to be God.
Rumi
Pure souls, didn’t I tell you not to be seduced by this colorful world for I am the Ultimate Painter.
Rumi
There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
Find the sweetness in your own heart, then you may find the sweetness in every heart.
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
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
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
The day you were born, a ladder was set up to help you escape this world.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
