More quotes by 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
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
Rumi
Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .
Rumi
Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Rumi
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
Rumi
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
Rumi
If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.
Rumi
When The Goodwill Of Hearts Is With You, Fountains Of Wisdom Will Begin To Flow From Within Your Own Being.
Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
The radiant one in me has never said a word.
Rumi
