More quotes by Rumi
There is a window between heart and heart: They are never separate like two bodies. Two lamps may not be united in their form - But their light merges into each other.
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
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
Rumi
Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Always check your inner state with the lord of your HEART.
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
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
I am sunlight slicing the dark.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.
Rumi
