More quotes by Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.
Rumi
Every need brings what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child. Having nothing produces provisions. Ask a difficult question, And the marvelous answer appears.
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
Rumi
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.
Rumi
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
Rumi
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Rumi
