More quotes by Rumi
What a piece of bread looks like depends on whether you are hungry or not.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
I said, O Love, tell me this: Does the Lord know you are treating me this way? Love said to me, yes He does, just be totally… totally… silent
Rumi
Try something different. Surrender.
Rumi
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
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
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
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
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.
Rumi
I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.
Rumi
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
