More quotes by Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
We may know who we are or we may not. We may be Muslims, Jews or Christians but until our hearts become the mould for every heart we will see only our differences.
Rumi
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
Go my friend bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen.
Rumi
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
No One in the Entire World is as Precious as You are.
Rumi
Be soulful. Be kind. Be in love.
Rumi
Feeling lonely and ignoble indicates that you haven't been patient.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
