More quotes by 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
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did.
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
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
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
Dear soul, don't set a high value on someone before they deserve it You either lose them or ruin yourself...!
Rumi
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
The Inspiration You Seek Is Already Within You. Be Silent And Listen.
Rumi
Kill the cow of your ego as quickly as you can, so that your inner spirit can come to life and attain true awareness.
Rumi
Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
Ground yourself, strip yourself down, To blind loving Silence
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
