More quotes by Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
Whoever has Heart's doors wide open, could see the Sun itself in every atom.
Rumi
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Rumi
Learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
In his mind she lay at his lap with his fingers gliding thru her straight beautiful hair. He smiles and says your beauty lights up everything around you.
Rumi
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Rumi
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
Rumi
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
The Heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
