More quotes by Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all.
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
The love religion is all that is written here.
Rumi
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
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
I'm dominated by Love, By my passion of love for Love
Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
Your name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?
Rumi
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
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
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
