More quotes by Rumi
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
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
Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands look for something, will find it.
Rumi
When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!
Rumi
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
