More quotes by Rumi
And watch two men washing clothes, one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony. Every holy person seems to have a different doctrine and practice, but there's really only one work.
Rumi
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
When someone mentions the gracefulness of the night sky, climb up on the roof and dance and say, like this?
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
A pure heart, open to the Light, will be filled with the elixir of Truth.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
Love, the supreme musician, is always playing in our souls
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
