Rumi

Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.

My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.

If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.

There's courage involved if you want to become Truth.

I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.

Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.

We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust... _x000D_ The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance.

The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.

Beyond what we wish _x000D_ and what we fear may happen _x000D_ we have another life, _x000D_ as clear and free as a mountain stream.

Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .

Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.

Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.

In the sea of love, I melt like salt Faith, Doubt - they both dissolve. A star is opening in my heart . The worlds turn in it.

A pure heart, open to the Light, will be filled with the elixir of Truth.

All we really want is love's confusing joy.

We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels; Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.

From the Distance You only See My Light; Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.

I am so close, I may look distant.

Until the juice ferments a while in the cask, it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright, you must do a little work.

I am an ark in the swift flood of time, and my companions, a fellowship. Who throws in with us sails into light.
