Quotes  Rumi's Books     

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

Quotes  Rumi's Books     

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It's too bad that you want to be someone else
You don't see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Rumi

Quotes  Rumi's Books     

In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words...
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'

Quotes  Rumi's Books     

When you come looking for sugar,
your bag will be examined
to see how much it can hold;
it will be filled accordingly.

Rumi

Quotes  Rumi's Books     

Outside ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field.

I'll meet you there.

Rumi

Quotes  Rumi's Books     

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Beloved Persian Poet

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.
