More quotes by Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
All that you think is rain is not. Behind the veil angels sometimes weep.
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a Lover
Rumi
There is a window between heart and heart: They are never separate like two bodies. Two lamps may not be united in their form - But their light merges into each other.
Rumi
You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
Rumi
Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
The beginning of pride and hatred lies in worldly desire, and the strength of your desire if from habit. When an evil tendency becomes confirmed by habit, rage is triggered when anyone restrains you.
Rumi
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Rumi
The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone- he sets fire to the whole world.
Rumi
