More quotes by Rumi
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.
Rumi
Ecstatic Love is an ocean, and the Milky Way is a flake of foam floating on it.
Rumi
Everything is soul and flowering.
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did.
Rumi
Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy
Rumi
Hear from the heart wordless mysteries.
Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
On this path let the heart be your guide.
Rumi
