More quotes by Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Mount the stallion of love and do not fear the path, love’s stallion knows the way exactly. With one leap, Love’s horse will carry you home.
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
From the Distance You only See My Light Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Rumi
If your heart isn't yet illumined Be awake always, be a seeker of the heart, Be at war continually with your carnal soul. But if your heart is already awakened, Sleep peacefully, sleep in the arms of Love
Rumi
There is only one search: wandering... no dogma and no heresy.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
And watch two men washing clothes, one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony. Every holy person seems to have a different doctrine and practice, but there's really only one work.
Rumi
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
Rumi
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
