Beautiful mind of Rumi
I want that love that moved the mountains.
I want that love that split the ocean.
I want that love that made the winds tremble.
I want that love that roared like thunder.
I want that love that will raise the dead.
I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy.
I want that love that is the silence of eternity."
― Rumi
Life
“Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.” ― Rumi
"It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you." ― Rumi
“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” ― Rumi
“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” - Rumi
“When you do things from the soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” ― Rumi
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." - Rumi
“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?” ― 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
Love
"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation." ― Rumi
"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." ― Rumi
"To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is a pure angel." ― Rumi
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ― Rumi
Pain + Sorrow
“Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?” ― Rumi
"Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure." ― Rumi
“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form.” ― Rumi
“Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.” ― Rumi
"I said: What about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road.
I said: What about my passion? God said: Keep it burning.
I said: What about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: Pain and sorrow?
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
― Rumi
Gratitude
“Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.” ― Rumi
"Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want." ― Rumi
"You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean? Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me." ― Rumi
Moments
"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears." ― Rumi
“I am not this hair, I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.” ― Rumi
“When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.” ― Rumi
“You wander from room to room hunting for the diamond necklace that is already around your neck!” ― Rumi
