More quotes by Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
If you # love love, look for yourself.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
The day you were born, a ladder was set up to help you escape this world.
Rumi
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
What strikes the oyster shell doesn't damage the pearl.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
Let your Teacher be Love itself.
Rumi
