More quotes by Rumi
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. But this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.
Rumi
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you?
Rumi
Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Rumi
Lovers have heartaches That can't be cured by drugs Or sleep, Or games, But only by seeing their beloved.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
Don't see yourself as a body of clay See yourself as a mirror reflecting the divine beauty.
Rumi
Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond.
Rumi
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
Rumi
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Rumi
