More quotes by Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
Rumi
You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.
Rumi
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
Rumi
Learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
Rumi
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
Rumi
From the urgent way lovers want each other to the seeker's search for truth, all moving is from the mover. Every Pull Draws Us To The Ocean.
Rumi
When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.
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
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
Love is the common denominator that unites all people whatever religion they are.
Rumi
The sun comes back every day with new and powerful secrets.
Rumi
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
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
