Rumi Quotes
“I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you first come 'round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come into
a room you've just left.
Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way you
purse your lips then let them part,
just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss
you.
I want to know the joy of
how you whisper
"more”
*****************
“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor...
Welcome and entertain them all.
Treat each guest honorably.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door
laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a
guide from beyond.”
*****************
“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover
others' faults.
Be like running water for generosity.
Be like death for rage and anger.
Be like the Earth for modesty.
Appear as you are. Be as you appear.”
*****************
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred
veils to fall each moment.
First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
*****************
“People want you to be happy.
Don't keep serving them your pain!
If you could untie your wings
and free your soul of jealousy,
you and everyone around you
would fly up like doves.”
*****************
“Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even
if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again , come , come.”
*****************
“I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside.”
*****************
“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out
of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter.
It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so
that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.
It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath
have room to grow.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will
take their place.”
*****************
“Take someone who doesn't keep score,
who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest even
in his own personality: he's free.”
*****************
“When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!”
