Rumi Quotes

When a bird gets free, it does not go back for remnants left on the bottom of the cage.

An eye is meant to see things.
The soul is here for its own joy.

A head has one use: For loving a true love.
Feet: To chase after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
for learning what men have done and tried to do.

Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
in the looking comes back completely changed.

إنك تصبح
ما تبحث عنه.

I could not have known
what love is if I had never

felt this longing. Anything
done to excess becomes

boring, except this overflow
that moves toward you.

Do not see yourself as a body of clay, see yourself as a mirror reflecting the divine beauty.

When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.

"عشق جان است
عشقِ تو
جان تر

"مولوی

Leave that which is not,
but appears to be. Seek that which is,
but is not apparent.

Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

And patience flees my heart,
And reason flees my mind.
Oh, how drunk can I get to be,
Without your love's security?

الحب النقي هو من يسكن الوحش الذي بداخلك، أطلق العنان للمحبة وكن روحانيا، كن طيبا، كن عاشقا.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

Study me as much as you like, you will never know me, for I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

You are an ocean in a drop of dew,
all the universes in a thin sack of blood.

What are these pleasures then,
these joys, these worlds
that you keep reaching for,
hoping they will make you more alive?

Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader,
are your own nature reflected in them.
