More quotes by Rumi
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
This mirror inside me shows. I can’t say what, but I can’t not know. I run from body. I run from spirit. I do not belong anywhere.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
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
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Love is the common denominator that unites all people whatever religion they are.
Rumi
Fish love the ocean. Snakes move like earth-fish inside a mountain,well away from seawater. Certain sunfish,though,turn snakes into ocean lovers.
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey!
Rumi
There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.
Rumi
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
Rumi
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
