More quotes by Rumi
I am a drunkard from another kind of tavern. I dance to a silent tune. I am the symphony of stars.
Rumi
Lovers have heartaches That can't be cured by drugs Or sleep, Or games, But only by seeing their beloved.
Rumi
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that
Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Rumi
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there seek inside.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.
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
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
