More from Rumi
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
RumiRumi Every story is us.
RumiRumi A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.
RumiRumi Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.
RumiRumi Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.
RumiRumi Give your weakness to one who helps.
RumiRumi The garden of the world has no limits, except in your mind.
RumiRumi Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.
RumiRumi Try something different. Surrender.
RumiRumi Gamble everything for love, if you’re a true human being.
RumiRumi The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
RumiRumi Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
RumiRumi Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.
RumiRumi Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon; How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
RumiRumi Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
RumiRumi Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, “Be more silent.” As that happens, your soul starts to revive.
