More quotes by Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
Oh Beloved, take me. Liberate my soul. Fill me with your love and release me from the two worlds. If I set my heart on anything but you let fire burn me from inside. Oh Beloved, take away what I want. Take away what I do. Take away what I need. Take away everything that takes me from you.
Rumi
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
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
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
Rumi
Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
The work of magic is this, that it breathes and at every breath transforms realities.
Rumi
A lifetime without Love is of no account Love is the Water of Life Drink it down with heart and soul!
Rumi
I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Rumi
