More quotes by Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
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
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
The day is conscious of itself.
Rumi
Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
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
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Rumi
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
Rumi
I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
Rumi
If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.
Rumi
We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust... The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance.
Rumi
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
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
