Nothing, indeed, is more symptomatic of our modern lack of logic than our consciousness of the futility of mere material affluence in itself, and at the same time our pathetic belief that the salvation of the “poor” is to lift them into affluence!
Rumi -
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.
Rumi
-
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi -
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
Rumi -
Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
Rumi -
Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi -
Life is a balance between holding on and letting go.
Rumi -
Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.
Rumi
-
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.
Rumi -
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.
Rumi -
For the thirst to possess your love, Is worth my blood a hundred times.
Rumi -
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.
Rumi -
You've seen my descent, now watch my rising.
Rumi -
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." When a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.
Rumi
-
Shams, my body is a candle touched with fire.
Rumi -
I am ashamed to call this love human and afraid of God to call it divine
Rumi -
Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
Rumi -
As you live Deeper in the Heart, the Mirror gets clearer and cleaner.
Rumi -
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi -
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.
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.
Rumi -
YOU ARE SUCH THAT BESIDES THIS (PHYSICAL) BODY YOU HAVE ANOTHER (ASTRAL) BODY. DO NOT THEREFORE BE AFRAID OF GETTING OUT OF THE MORTAL FRAME.
Rumi -
Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body, Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.
Rumi -
With passion pray. 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
