More quotes by Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Smiles come best from those who weep.
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey!
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Since Love has made ruins of my heart The sun must come and illumine them. Such generosity has broken me with shame.
Rumi
What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
Where you are, whatever your condition is Always try to be a lover.
Rumi
Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
Rumi
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
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
As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
