More quotes by Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
I will soothe you and heal you, I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi
Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.
Rumi
Oh, wandering One, if you are in search of the greatest treasure, don't look outside. Look within, and seek That.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.
Rumi
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
All that you think is rain is not. Behind the veil angels sometimes weep.
Rumi
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.
Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
