More quotes by Rumi
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
Rumi
Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your Heart from the darkness of hate
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
Rumi
I am part of the load not rightly balanced . . .
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
Be suspicious of what you want.
Rumi
Lovers have heartaches That can't be cured by drugs Or sleep, Or games, But only by seeing their beloved.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!
Rumi
If you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.
Rumi
