More quotes by Rumi
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Rumi
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did.
Rumi
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi
You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his hear.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
people want you to be happy, don't keep serving them your pain
Rumi
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
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Be suspicious of what you want.
Rumi
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Cease looking for flowers! There blooms a garden in your own home. While you look for trinkets The treasure house awaits you in your own being.
Rumi
