More quotes by Rumi
The message behind the words is the voice of the heart.
Rumi
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
What strikes the oyster shell doesn't damage the pearl.
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
Why should I be weary when every cell of my body is bursting with life?
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
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
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
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.
Rumi
