More quotes by Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
Rumi
Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.
Rumi
Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
Rumi
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
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
Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.
Rumi
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
Rumi
That hurt we embrace becomes joy. Call it to your arms where it can change.
Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. But this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
