More quotes by Rumi
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
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
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
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
The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
