More quotes by Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
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
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
Passion makes the old medicine new: Passion lops off the bough of weariness. Passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
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
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
When love is not accepted move on when love is not appreciated walk away hopefully time will teach what real, true love is.
Rumi
The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.
Rumi
Stop searching here and there, the jewels are inside YOU.
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
Everything you possess of skill, and wealth, and handicraft, wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest?
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Don't argue or answer rationally. Let us die, and dying, reply.
Rumi
You moan, She left me. He left me, Twenty more will come.
Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
Rumi
Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Rumi
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
Rumi
