More quotes by Rumi
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
When love is not accepted move on when love is not appreciated walk away hopefully time will teach what real, true love is.
Rumi
Deep in the HEART every mystery of spirit is hidden.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Rumi
Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
This mirror inside me shows. I can’t say what, but I can’t not know. I run from body. I run from spirit. I do not belong anywhere.
Rumi
Every rose that is sweet-scented within, That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.
Rumi
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
Rumi
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
Rumi
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
Speak little, learn the words of eternity. Go beyond your tangled thoughts and find the splendor of paradise.
Rumi
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Rumi
