More quotes by Rumi
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
Rumi
This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
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
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
Rumi
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
Rumi
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
I am sunlight slicing the dark.
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
Love is the common denominator that unites all people whatever religion they are.
Rumi
Let the beauty we love do what we do.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
Rumi
Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
You are as you are, an indescribable message on the air.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
