Rumi Quotes

The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved 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.

What you seek is seeking you

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

The wound is the place where the light enters you

Wherever you are and whatever you do, be in love

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you

Reason is powerless in the expression of love

You have to keep breaking your heart until is opens

These pains you feel are messengers, listen to them

Your heart is the size of an ocean, go find yourself in its hidden depths

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think

Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer or afraid of losing who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he is free

Live life as if everything is rigged in your favour

I am not this hair I am not this skin I am the soul that lives within

Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy, weep, that you may break into laughter

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment cleverness is mere opinion. bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge

Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray

The lion is most handsome when looking for food

The very centre of your heart is where life begins, the most beautiful place on earth

Don’t you know yet? It is your light that lights the worlds

Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot.Seek the path that demands your whole being

Dance until you shatter yourself

Why do you stay in prisom when the door is so wide open

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears

What hurts you blesses you, darkness is your candle

Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there

Achieve some perfection yourself so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others

Forget safety live where you fear to live

What is planted in each person’s soul will sprout

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils and carry you a thousand steps toward your goal
