More quotes by Rumi
Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God God is the sun.
Rumi
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Rumi
Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Rumi
Nearness to God is common to us all, Because we're all created and sustained by God, But only the authentically noble Possess and live that nearness That's a constant upswelling passion of love.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Rumi
Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.
Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
Rumi
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
