Quote

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.

The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.
Rumi
Image
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Image
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
Rumi
Image
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi

I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
Rumi

Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Image
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
Image
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Rumi
Image
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
Image
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
Rumi
Image
If thou has not seen the devil, look at thine own self.
Rumi

Dance until you shatter yourself.
Rumi
Image
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
Image
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi

Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Image
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
