Quote

I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.

Image
Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets The moon sets But they are not gone.
Rumi
Image
O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.
Rumi
Image
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi
Image
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
Rumi
Image
I am iron resisting the most enormous magnet there is.
Rumi
Image
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
Image
Love is the sea where intellect drowns.
Rumi
Image
There is a path from me to you that I am constantly looking for.
Rumi
Image
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
Image
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
Image
For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden for the land animals, it is death and pain.
Rumi
Image
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Image
What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.
Rumi
Image
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
Rumi
Image
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
Image
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Image
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
Image
Those who are pure in heart achieve God-consciousness they are truly and actually aware of God at the center of their being (their heart). These sanctified individuals are said to be Possessors of the Heart.
Rumi
