More quotes by Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
The pure heart is a spotless mirror in which images of infinite beauty are reflected.
Rumi
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Rumi
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.
Rumi
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
Wisdom tells us we are not worthy Love tells us we are. My life flows between the two.
Rumi
