More quotes by Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi

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
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi

Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
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
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
