More quotes by Rumi
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Rumi
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
Don't see yourself as a body of clay See yourself as a mirror reflecting the divine beauty.
Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
In this life many demolitions are actually renovations.
Rumi
The body itself is to reveal the light that's blazing inside your Presence.
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
Try something different. Surrender.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
Rumi
