If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.
Rumi
Image
With each passing moment, a Soul sets off to find Itself.
Rumi
Image
I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
Rumi
Image
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
Image
The Soul is a stranger trying to find a Home somewhere that is not a where.
Rumi
Image
I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!'
Rumi
Image
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Image
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
Image
Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.
Rumi
Image
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Image
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Image
The Water said to the dirty one, “Come here.” The dirty one said, “I am too ashamed.” The water replied, “How will your shame be washed away without me?
Rumi
Image
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Image
You the one in all, say who I am. Say I am you.
Rumi
Image
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Rumi
Image
Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.
Rumi
Image
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
Image
When you notice a fault in your neighbour, search for the same in yourself.
Rumi
Image
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
