Rumi

his place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real.
Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief. Rumi Love is the Water of Life. Rumi Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. Rumi Because of love I have become the giver of light. Rumi It is Love that holds everything together, and it is the everything also. Rumi I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you. Rumi Speak a new language so that the world will be a new world. Rumi You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life? Rumi There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Rumi I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me. My body is in Love with the soul and the soul is in Love with my body. I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a lover.
Rumi Gamble everything for love, if youre a true human being. Rumi Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight. Rumi The way you make love is the way God will be with you. Rumi Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Rumi Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to love. Rumi This divine love, beckons us to a world beyond only lovers can see with their eyes of fiery passion. Rumi Dear God, Let all Lovers be content Give them happy endings Let their lives be celebration Let their hearts dance in the fire of your Love. Rumi The lover is a king above all kings, unafraid of death, not at all interested in a golden crown. The dervish has a pearl concealed under his patched cloak. Why should he go begging door to door? Rumi Whatever pearl you seek,
look for the pearl within the pearl! Rumi Only from the heart Can you touch the sky. Rumi Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet Through Love all that is copper will be gold. Through Love all dregs will turn to purest wine Through Love all pain will turn to medicine. Through Love the dead will all become alive. Through Love the king will turn into a slave! Rumi The moon has become a dancer at this festival of love. Rumi Love is the One who masters all things; I am mastered totally by Love. Rumi They will ask you what you have produced. Say to them, except for Love, what else can a Lover produce? Rumi From the beginning of my life, I have been looking for your face, but today, Ive seen it. Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that I was looking for. Rumi I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes. Rumi My heart has burned with passion and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty that I now behold. Rumi Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. Rumi
Know that my beloved is hidden from everyone Know that she is beyond the belief of all beliefs Know that in my heart she is as clear as the MOON Know that she is the life in my body and in my soul. Rumi Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. Rumi You must marry your soul. That wedding is the way. Rumi You knock at the door of Reality. You shake your thought-wings, loosen your shoulders and open. Rumi There is something in us That has nothing to do with night and day, Diamonds which come from no earthly mine. Rumi If the sun were not in love, he would have no brightness, the side of the hill no grass on it. The ocean would come to rest somewhere. Rumi This is the prayer of each: You are the source of my life. You separate essence from mud. You honor my soul. You bring rivers from the mountain springs. You brighten my eyes. The wine you offer takes me out of myself into the self we share. Doing that is religion. Rumi I was you and never knew it. Rumi
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself. Rumi This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First, to let go of life. In the end, to take a step without feet. In the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love. Rumi You are the Essence of the Essence, The intoxication of Love. I long to sing your praises but stand mute with the agony of wishing in my heart. Rumi Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. Rumi The real beloved is your beginning and your end. When you find that one, you'll no longer expect anything else. Rumi Of the book of God Thou art a copying, A mirror, wherein showed The beauty of the King. All God ever wrought Dwelleth not apart; All thou hast ever sought, Find it in thy heart. Rumi Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep. Rumi With passion pray. With passion work. With passion make love. With passion eat and drink and dance and play. Why look like a dead fish in this ocean of God? Rumi Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. 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 Lover comes, the Lover comes! Open the way for him! Hes looking for a heart, Lets show him one. I scream What you come to hunt is me! He says laughingly, 'Im here not to hunt you but to save you.' Rumi Dance, when youre broken open. Dance, if youve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance, when youre perfectly free. Rumi
From the beginning of my life I have been looking for your face but today I have seen it Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that I was looking for. Rumi I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty, and wish to see you with a hundred eyes. I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer. Rumi In my vertigo, in my dizziness, in my drunken haze, whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel, I saw myself as the source of existence, I was there at the beginning and I was the spirit of love. Rumi But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue. Rumi The garden of Love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh. Rumi Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure. Rumi Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings.
Rumi Your bright face is my day Your dark curls bring the night If you do not let me near you I promise not go to sleep nor rise Your magnificence has made me a wonder Your charm has taught me the way of love I am the progeny of Abraham I'll find my way through fire. Rumi In the body of the world, they say, there is a soul and you are that. Rumi I would love to kiss you. The price of kissing is your life. Now my loving is running toward my life shouting, What a bargain, let's buy it. Rumi Late by myself, in the boat by myself No light and no land anywhere cloud cover thick, I try to stay just above the surface, but I am already under and living in the ocean of your love. Rumi Since I was cut from the reedbed, I have made this crying sound. Anyone apart from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a source longs to go back. Rumi Is it your face that adorns the garden? Is it your fragrance that intoxicates this garden? Is it your spirit that has made this brook a river of wine? Rumi
To Love is to reach God. Rumi There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? Rumi A rose's rarest essence lives in the thorn. Rumi There are amazing things in the ocean, and there is one who is the ocean. Rumi Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. Rumi There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love itself. Rumi Because of your love I have lost my sobriety I am intoxicated by the madness of love. Rumi In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance. Rumi Drunk with the ecstasy of love I can no longer tell the difference betweeen drunkard and drink Between lover and Beloved. Rumi Thats how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi Because the idol is your face, I have become an idolater. Because the wine is from your cup, I've become a drunkard. In the existence of your love, I have become non-existent. This non-existence, linked to you, is better than all existence. Rumi Many hearts have sought refuge from this love, but it drags and pulls them to its own refuge Love so needs to love, that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment. Rumi I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Rumi Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean. Rumi Love is reckless; not reason. Reason seeks a profit. Having died of self-interest, Love risks everything and asks for nothing. Rumi The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere, they're in each other all along. Rumi
My place is the Placeless, my trace is Traceless, 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved Rumi You were born with potential You were born with goodness and trust You were born with ideals and dreams You were born with greatness You were born with wings You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings Learn to use them, and fly. Rumi I long to escape the prison of my ego and lose myself in you. Rumi A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I. We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden's beauty and the birds singing. Rumi That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful. Rumi From the clear center of my heart there are no edges to my loving you I've heard it said there's a window that opens from one mind to another but if there were no wall, what need of installing a window? Rumi If the wind had taken me to you, I would have held tight to the skirts of the wind. I miss you so much that I would fly to you faster than a bird; But how can a bird with a clipped wing fly? Rumi
There comes a holy and transparent time when every touch of beauty opens the heart to tears. This is the time the Beloved of heaven is brought tenderly on earth. This is the time of the opening of the Rose. Rumi Remember any night of all of our nights but don't remember things I've said. Rumi What was whispered to the rose To break it open Last night Was whispered to my heart. Rumi Stop learning. Start knowing. The rose opens And opens And when it falls Falls outward. Rumi Silence You are the diamond in me the Jewel of my real wealth! From your soft earth grow thousands of rose gardens whose perfumes drown me in my heart. Rumi I was dead I came alive I was tears
I became laughter all because of love. Rumi love said you are a candle attracting everyone gathering every one around you. Rumi love said you already have your own wings I will not give you more feathers. Rumi My heart is burning with love All can see this flame My heart is pulsing with passion like waves on an ocean. Rumi Im at home wherever I am And in the room of lovers I can see with closed eyes the beauty that dances. Rumi Behind the veils intoxicated with love I too dance the rhythm of this moving world I have lost my senses in my world of lovers. Rumi Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test. Rumi Suddenly the drunken sweetheart appeared out of my door. She drank a cup of ruby wine and sat by my side.
Seeing and holding the lockets of her hair My face became all eyes, and my eyes all hands. Rumi When I am with you, we stay up all night, When you're not here, I can't get to sleep. Praise God for these two insomnias! And the difference between them. Rumi I have phrases and whole pages memorized, but nothing can be told of love. You must wait until you and I are living together. In the conversation we'll have then...be patient...then. Rumi When the sweet glance of my true love caught my eyes, Like alchemy, it transformed my copper-like soul. I searched for Him with a thousand hands, He stretched out His arms and clutched my feet.# Rumi There is a smile and a gentleness inside. When I learned the name and address of that, I went to where you sell perfume. I begged you not to trouble me so with longing. Come out and play! Flirt more naturally. Teach me how to kiss. On the ground a spread blanket, flame that's caught and burning well, cumin seeds browning, I am inside all of this with my soul. Rumi Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded. Someone sober will worry about things going badly. Let the lover be. Rumi When your chest is free of your limiting ego, Then you will see the ageless Beloved. You can not see yourself without a mirror; Look at the Beloved, He is the brightest mirror.
Rumi We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. Rumi I want to hold you close like a lute so we can cry out with loving. You would rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror, and here are the stones. Rumi You bewilder us with your grace, all evils transformed into goodness. You are the master alchemist. You light the fire of love in Earth and Sky, in heart and soul of every being. Through your loving, existence and non-existence merge. All opposites unite. All that is profane becomes sacred again. Rumi When it's cold and raining, you are more beautiful. And the snow brings me even closer to your lips. The inner secret, that which was never born, you are that freshness, and I am with you now. I can't explain the goings, or the comings. You enter suddenly, and I am nowhere again. Inside the majesty. Rumi When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath, In that moment you will find your true destiny. Alas, don't spoil this precious moment Moments like this are very, very rare. Rumi And just the moment when you are all confused leaps forth a voice hold me close
I'm love and I'm always yours. Rumi Both light and shadow are the dance of Love. Love has no cause, it is the astrolabe of God's secrets. Lover and loving are inseparable and timeless. Every moment is made glorious by the light of Love. Rumi A lover knows only humility, he has no choice. He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice. He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice. In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice. Rumi A lover asked his beloved: Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself. Rumi I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love. Rumi You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love. Rumi I desire you more than food or drink. My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste. I can sense your presence in my heart although you belong to all the world. I wait with silent passion for one gesture one glance from you. Rumi
I am so small I can barely be seen. How can this great love be inside me? Look at your eyes. They are small, But they see enormous things. Rumi Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here. She lives in your own neighborhood. Her face is veiled. She hides behind screens calling for you, while you search and lose yourself in the wilderness and the desert. Cease looking for flowers, there blooms a garden in your own home. While you go looking for trinkets, your treasure house awaits you in your own being. There is no need for suffering, God is here! Rumi In love...nothing is eternal, but drinking your wine. There is no reason for bringing my life to you, other than losing it. I said, I just want to know you, and then disappear. She said, knowing me does not mean dying. Rumi This is how I would die into the love I have for you: As pieces of cloud dissolve in Sunlight. Rumi Look at me and hear me, because I am here... just for that! Rumi Oh God! I have discovered love! How marvelous! How good! How beautiful it is! My body is warm from the heat of this love. Rumi In love, nothing is eternal but drinking your wine, There is no reason for bringing my life to you, other then losing it.
I said 'I just want to know you, and then disappear' She said,"Knowing me does not mean dying" Rumi The moon has become a dancer at this festival of love. This dance of light, This sacred blessing, This divine love, beckons us to a world beyond only lovers can see with their eyes of fiery passion. They are the chosen ones who have surrendered. Once they were particles of light now they are the radiant sun. They have left behind the world of deceitful games. They are the privileged lovers who create a new world with their eyes of burning passion. Rumi My heart is on fire In my madness I roam the desert The flames of my passion devour the wind and the sky My cries of longing My wails of sorrow Are tormenting my soul You wait patiently Looking into my intoxicated eyes You accept my passion with the serenity of Love You are the Master of Existence One day I shall be a Lover like You Rumi Since you will come and throw kisses at my tombstone later why not give them to me now this is me that same person. Rumi
The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon So powerful I fell to the ground Your love has made me sure I am ready to forsake this worldly life and surrender to the magnificence of your Being. Rumi Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here. Rumi Cease looking for flowers, there blooms a garden in your own home. Rumi My love for you has driven me insane I wander aimlessly the ruins of my life, my old self a stranger to me Because of your love I have broken with my past My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage I look for you in my innermost being. Rumi Die, die, die in this love. If you die in this love your soul will be renewed. Rumi You come to us from another world From beyond the stars and void of space. Transcendent. Pure. Of unimaginable beauty. Bringing with you the essence of Love. You transform all who are touched by you. Mundane concerns, troubles and sorrows Dissolve in your presence. Bringing joy to ruler and ruled. To peasant and king. Rumi Tonight is a night of union for the stars and of scattering, scattering, since a bride is coming from the skies, consisting of a full moon. Rumi
You amuse me with your touch although I can't see your hands. You have kissed me with tenderness although I haven't seen your lips You are hidden from me. But it is you who keeps me alive Perhaps the time will come when you will tire of kisses I shall be happy even for insults from you I only ask that you keep some attention on me. Rumi Thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moons reflection. Rumi The agony of lovers burns with the fire of passion. Lovers leave traces of where they've been. The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God. Rumi The wine we really drink is our own blood. Our bodies ferment in these barrels. We give everything for a glass of this. We give our minds for a sip. Rumi My sweet heart, you have aroused my passion, your touch has filled me with desire, I am no longer separate from you, these are precious moments, I beseech you, don't let me wait, let me merge with you. Rumi Come to the orchid in Spring. There is light and wine, and sweethearts in the pomegranate flowers. If you do not come, these do not matter.
If you do come, these do not matter. Rumi I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is the placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being. Rumi I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy. Rumi Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow? Rumi Most people guard against going into the fire, and so end up in it. Rumi Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes. I need more grace than I thought. Rumi I burn each second of my life to love, Each second of my life burns out, in love, In each leaping second, love lives afresh. Rumi I have a thirsty fish in me that can never find enough of what its thirsty for A house of love with no limits, a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon, a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart. Rumi We are the night ocean filled With glints of light. We are the space
Between the fish and the moon, While we sit here together. Rumi I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep. Rumi There is only one way to win him, this Beloved of mine Become his. Rumi The springtime of Lovers has come, that this dust bowl may become a garden; the proclamation of heaven has come, that the bird of the soul may rise in flight. The sea becomes full of pearls, the salt marsh becomes sweet as kauthar, the stone becomes a diamond from the mine, the body becomes wholly soul. Rumi With Your sweet Soul, this soul of mine has merged as water does with wine. Who can part the water from the wine, or me from You when we combine? You have become my greater self; how can smallness limit me? You've taken on my being, how shall I not take on Yours? Forever, You have claimed me that forever I may know You're mine. Rumi Your love has pierced me to the depths, its ecstasy entwines both bone and nerve. Rumi O Sun, fill our house once more with light! Make happy all your friends and blind your foes! Rise from behind the hill, transform the stones To rubies and the sour grapes to wine!
O Sun, make our vineyard fresh again, And fill the steppes with houris and green cloaks! Physician of the lovers, heaven's lamp! Rescus the lovers! Help the suffering! Show but your face - the world is filled with light! But if you cover it, it's the darkest night! Rumi I said, 'O sweet beloved, you are the refuge of my soul.' He said, 'If you belong to me, don't talk of your own soul.' I said, 'Why do you cut me with your sharp words?' He said, 'My words wouldn't hurt you if you weren't in love with yourself.' Rumi Beating your wings and feathers, you broke free from this cage. Rising up to the sky you attained the world of the soul. Rumi O heart, what a wonderful bird you are. Seeking divine heights, Flapping your wings, you smashed the pointed spears of your enemy. Rumi The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep. Rumi never lose hope when the Beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless
tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion. Rumi Should Love's heart rejoice unless I burn? For my heart is Love's dwelling. If You will burn Your house, burn it, Love! Who will say, 'It's not allowed'? Burn this house thoroughly! The lover's house improves with fire. From now on I will make burning my aim, From now on I will make burning my aim, for I am like the candle: burning only makes me brighter. Abandon sleep tonight; traverse fro one night the region of the sleepless. Look upon these lovers who have become distraught and like moths have died in union with the One Beloved. Look upon this ship of God's creatures and see how it is sunk in Love. Rumi Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you Were a mere dream in along winter night, A dream of spring-days, and of golden light Which sheds its rays upon a frozen heart; A dream of wine that fills the drunken eye. And so I wonder, sweetest love, if I Should drink this ruby wine, or rather weep; Each tear a bezel with your face engraved, A rosary to memorize your name... There are so many ways to call you backYes, even if you only were a dream. Rumi Once a beloved asked her lover: 'Friend, You have seen many places in the world! Now - which of all these cities was the best?' He said: 'The city where my sweetheart lives!'
Rumi From myself I am copper, through You, friend, I am gold. From myself I'm a stone, but through You I am a gem! Rumi Lover whispers to my ear, 'Better to be a prey than a hunter. Make yourself My fool. Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck! Dwell at My door and be homeless. Don't pretend to be a candle, be a moth, so you may taste the savor of Life and know the power hidden in serving.' Rumi I believe in love I swear by love believe me my love how long like a prisoner of grief can I beg for mercy. Rumi Show me your face I crave flowers and gardens open your lips I crave the taste of honey come out from behind the clouds I desire a sunny face. Rumi in every breath if youre the center of your own desires youll lose the grace of your beloved but if in every breath you blow away your self claim the ecstasy of love
will soon arrive. Rumi in every breath if youre the center of your own thoughts the sadness of autumn will fall on you but if in every breath you strip naked just like a winter the joy of spring will grow from within. Rumi all your unfulfilled desires are from your greed for gain of fulfillments let go of them all and they will be sent as gifts. Rumi fall in love with the agony of love not the ecstasy then the beloved will fall in love with you. Rumi A true Lover doesn't follow any one religion, be sure of that. Since in the religion of Love, there is no irreverence or faith. When in Love, body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist. Become this, fall in Love, and you will not be separated again. Rumi Before coming to this world we were in heaven. We were friends of the angels. There is our real homeland, and we will return to it. Rumi I will soothe you and heal you.
I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns. Rumi You twist my heart, dwell in my mind and fill my eyes, you are my joy I cant be without you. You are my sleep, my rest, the water I drink. You are my clarity, my dignity, my world I cant be without you. Rumi Your fragrant breath like the morning breeze has come to the stillness of the garden You have breathed new life into me. Rumi The world is a prison and we are the prisoners: dig a hole in the prison and let yourself out! Rumi The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart. Rumi In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?' Rumi He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, 'Live!' Rumi If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it. Rumi Everyone is so afraid of death, but the real sufis just laugh: nothing tyrannizes their hearts. What strikes the oyster shell does not damage the pearl. Rumi Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.
Rumi I bow to you for the dust of your feet Is the crown on my head And as I walk towards you Every step I take is a blessing. Rumi Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening. Rumi O tongue, you are an endless treasure. O tongue, you are also an endless disease. Rumi The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy. Rumi Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them. As the Prophet said, 'The faithful are mirrors to one another.' Rumi Whoever gives reverence receives reverence. Rumi If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy. Rumi Dissolve in the Being who is everything. Rumi There is no worse sickness for the soul, O you who are proud, than this pretense of perfection. Rumi The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end. Rumi How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been a heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth! Rumi O heart, if you want to join us, raise yourself to the dome of the inner sky
Enter the fortress that no one can break. Rumi Why should I be weary when every cell of my body is bursting with life? Why should I be a donkey's slave when I ride upon a magical horse? Why should I be less than the Moon when there are no scorpions at my feet? Why should I stay at the bottom of a well when a strong rope is in my hand? Rumi I am the rays of the Sun dancing through the windows of every house. Rumi I am the glorious Sun, the ocean laden with pearls. Within my heart is the grandeur of heaven. Rumi The truth of what you see is written all over your face! Rumi I come to you without me, come to me without you. Self is the thorn in the sole of the soul. Merge with others, If you stay in self, you are a grain, you are a drop, If you merge with others, you are an ocean, you are a mine. Rumi Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam or Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being. Rumi I drank that wine of which the soul is its vessel. Its ecstacy has stolen my intellect away. A light came and kindled a flame in the depth of my soul. A light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly. Rumi In generosity and helping others be like a river. In compassion and grace be like sun. In concealing others' faults be like night. In anger and fury be like dead. In modesty and humility be like earth. In tolerance be like a sea. Either exist as you are or be as you look. Rumi Let silence take you to the core of life. Rumi The soil is faithful to its trust: whatever you have sown in it, you reap the same. But until springtime brings the touch of God, the soil does not reveal its secrets. Rumi He breathes into my ear until my soul takes on His fragrance. He is the soul of my soul. Rumi Close the language-door, and open the love-window The moon won't use the door, only the window. Rumi Go my friend Bestow your love Even on your foes If you touch their hearts What do you think will happen. Rumi Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

You do not see me for I am hidden inside the soul. Rumi I am the garden of all gardens I speak as the King of all flowers I am the spring of all waters. My words are like a ship and the sea is their meaning. Come to me and I will take you to the depths of spirit. Rumi My soul is screaming in ecstasy Every fiber of my being is in love with you Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart. Rumi My arrow of love has arrived at the target I am in the house of mercy and my heart is a place of prayer. Rumi
No longer a stranger, you listen all day to these crazy love-words. Like a bee you fill hundreds of homes with honey, though yours is a long flight from here. Rumi A thorn in the foot is hard to find. What about a thorn in the heart? If everyone saw the thorn in his heart, when would sorrow gain the upper hand? Rumi Don't take a wooden sword into battle. Go, find one of steel; then march forward with joy. Rumi Love, the life-giving garden of this world. Wherever Beauty looks, Love is also there. Rumi Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of timeSide by side, step by step. Rumi This is a gathering of Lovers.

People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another. Rumi One need not worry or fret about any secret magic to begin to unlock her inner soul. It will respond to the one who seeks it. Rumi You wander from room to room. Hunting for the diamond necklace.That is already around your neck. 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. Rumi With every breath I plant the seeds of devotion I am a farmer of the heart.

Rumi O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares Make me your servant, your breath, your core. Rumi Whoever brought me here will have to take me home. Rumi I am a sculptor, a molder of form. In every moment I shape an idol. But then, in front of you, I melt them down I can rouse a hundred forms and fill them with spirit, but when I look into your face,
I want to throw them in the fire. Rumi My souls spills into yours and is blended. Because my soul has absorbed your fragrance, I cherish it. Rumi I merge with my Beloved when I participate in love. Rumi In this house of mud and water, my heart has fallen to ruins. Enter this house, my Love, or let me leave. Rumi Because your sighs have fermented my blood I need no wine. Rumi I begin the Night Journey in your eyes toward the wild desert fragrance I longed for all day. Rumi We are each others' search for what's between our mirrors. Rumi On the wick of your eye, you lit me: I danced out in your seeing. From the golden oil in my bones I kindled you. Rumi A soul for my soul, you gushed through my hollow places. Anoint me now! Stream down this broken necklace of dangling pearls from throat to thigh. Unite the sea and setting sun.
Rumi When dawn comes, we'll whisper which of us was stillness, which the dancer. Rumi Reason is the shadow cast by God; God is the sun. Rumi What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe. Rumi There is no reality but God, says the completely surrendered sheik, who is an ocean for all beings. Rumi I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!' Rumi I am filled with you. Skin, blood, bone, brain, and soul. There's no room for lack of trust, or trust. Nothing in this existence but that existence. Rumi A prince is just a conceit until he does something with generosity. Rumi Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere? Rumi I am God's Lion, not the lion of passion.... I have no longing except for the One. When a wind of personal reaction comes, I do not go along with it. Rumi
Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune: every success depends upon focusing the heart. Rumi Everything you possess of skill, and wealth and handicraft, wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest? Rumi My heart is expanding a thousand fold. Every cell, taking wings, flies about the world. All seek separately the many faces of my Beloved. /

I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not. With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation. Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even. Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range. I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court. Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else. Rumi 15 people liked it like We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.

The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown.
Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings. We started sober: are love's startled drunkards. You hide me in your cloak of nothingness Reflect my ghost in your glass of being I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream Where your eternity briefly trembles.

Rumi 13 people liked it like Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes. Rumi 13 people liked it like The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees.
The eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. When hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. If all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! Certain energies come only when you burn. If you long for belief, sit down in the fire! When the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. But if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens. Rumi, Night and Sleep 12 people liked it like Let silence take you to the core of life. Rumi tags: life , silence 12 people liked it like Where lowland is, that's where water goes. All medicine wants is pain to cure. Rumi tags: wisdom 12 people liked it like Work on your strong qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease; your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.

calling out, but have you ever gotten any response?" The man had no answer to that. He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep. He dreamed he saw Khidr, the guide of souls, in a thick, green foliage. "Why did you stop praising?" "Because I've never heard anything back." "This longing you express is the return message." The grief you cry out from draws you toward union. Your pure sadness that wants help is the secret cup. Listen to the moan of a dog for its master. That whining is the connection. There are love dogs no one knows the names of. Give your life to be one of them.

ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle. Rumi tags: mankind 6 people liked it like Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety. Rumi 6 people liked it like Some Hindus have an elephant to show. No one here has ever seen an elephant. They bring it at night to a dark room. One by one, we go in the dark and come out saying how we experience the animal. One of us happens to touch the trunk. A water-pipe kind of creature. Another, the ear. A strong, always moving back and forth, fan-animal. Another, the leg. I find it still, like a column on a temple. Another touches the curve back. A leathery throne. Another, the cleverest, feels the tusk. A rounded sword made of porcelain. He is proud of his description. Each of us touches one place and understands the whole in that way. The palm and the fingers feeling in the dark are how the senses explore the reality of the elephant. If each of us held a candle there, and if we went in together, we could see it.

Who indeed should be so fortunate? An Ocean wooing a drop! In God's name, in God's name, sell and buy at once! Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls. Rumi tags: devotion , spiritual , sufism 5 people liked it like If we come to sleep we are His drowsy ones And if we come to wake we are in His hands If we come to weeping we are His cloud full of raindrops And if we come to laughing we are His lightning in that moment If we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of His wrath And if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of His love Who are we in this complicated world?

So let us rather not be sure of anything, Beside ourselves, and only that, so Miraculous beings come running to help. Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute, We shall be saying finally, With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, We shall be a mighty kindness.

Your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. I have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. You who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise. Whoever feels himself walking on the path, and refuses to praise--that man or woman steals from others every day--is a shoplifter! The sun became full of light when it got hold of itself.
