More quotes by Rumi
Love is a tree and lovers are its shade.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Every bird will follow it's specie.
Rumi
In his mind she lay at his lap with his fingers gliding thru her straight beautiful hair. He smiles and says your beauty lights up everything around you.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
If you don't find true balance, anyone can deceive you.
Rumi
The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
Rumi
In our hearts there burns a fire... That burns all veils to their root and foundation When those veils have been burned away Then the heart will understand completely. Ancient love will unfold ever-fresh forms In the heart of the Spirit, In the core of the heart.
Rumi
