I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.

More quotes by Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
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 is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
Rumi
Your breath touched my soul and I saw beyond all limits.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
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
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
