Quote

The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. Its presence is more beautiful than the stars with more clarity than the polished mirror of your heart.

Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, But don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Image
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Image
Why should I be weary when every cell of my body is bursting with life?

Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
Image
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
Image
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
Image
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
Image
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Image
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Image
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Image
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
Image
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
Image
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
Rumi
Image
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi
Image
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
