Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi

In your beauty, how to make poems.
Rumi
Image
Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?
Rumi
Image
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi

I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi

Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
Image
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi

War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
Image
Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your Heart from the darkness of hate
Rumi

If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness

Rumi
Image
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!
Rumi
Image
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
Rumi
Image
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
Rumi
Image
This is how I would die into the love I have for you: As pieces of cloud dissolve in sunlight.
Rumi
