Rumi

No more words. Hear only the voice within.

Love is that flame that once kindled burns everything, and only the mystery and the journey remain.

What is the mirror of Being? Non-being. Bring non-being as your gift, if you are not a fool.

Even though in the world you are the most learned scholar of the time, Behold the vanishing of this world and this time!

If the spiritual universe and the way to it were shown, No one would remain in this world for a single moment.

Whenever Beauty looks,_x000D_ _x000D_ Love is also there;_x000D_ _x000D_ Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek_x000D_ _x000D_ Love lights Her fire from that flame._x000D_ _x000D_ When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night_x000D_ _x000D_ Love comes and finds a heart_x000D_ _x000D_ entangled in tresses._x000D_ _x000D_ Beauty and Love are as body and soul._x000D_ _x000D_ Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.

No mirror ever became iron again; _x000D_ _x000D_ No bread ever became wheat; _x000D_ _x000D_ No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. _x000D_ _x000D_ Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. _x000D_ _x000D_ Become the light.

Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey!

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.

To praise the sun is to praise your own eyes.

This outward spring and garden are a reflection of the inward garden.

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.

You are not your body; you are the eye. When you see the spirit, you are free of the body. A human being is an eye – the rest is just flesh and bones. Whatever your eye sees, you are that.

Search, no matter what situation you are in. O thirsty one, search for water constantly. Finally, the time will come when you will reach the spring.

Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.

Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.

Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.

When you are everywhere, you are nowhere. When you are somewhere, you are everywhere.

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
