We often need to be refreshed.
Rumi
Image
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Image
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
Image
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Image
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Rumi
Image
Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.
Rumi
Image
Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
Rumi
Image
But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.
Rumi
Image
Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!
Rumi
Image
If the wine drinker has a deep gentleness in him, he will show that when drunk. But if he has hidden anger and arrogance, those appear.
Rumi
Image
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover
Rumi
Image
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
Image
people want you to be happy, don't keep serving them your pain
Rumi
Image
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
Rumi
Image
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
Image
Swim out of your little pond.
Rumi
Image
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
Image
Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
Rumi
Image
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi

Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
