More quotes by Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
And watch two men washing clothes, one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony. Every holy person seems to have a different doctrine and practice, but there's really only one work.
Rumi
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Rumi
I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.
Rumi
Dance until you shatter yourself.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a Lover
Rumi
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Rumi
If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.
Rumi
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets The moon sets But they are not gone.
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
Rumi
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
