Favourite Rumi Quotes

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense."



"I am yours. Don’t give myself
back to me."


 

"Actually, your soul and mine are the same.
We appear and disappear with each other."


 

"The lover never despairs.
For a committed heart everything is possible."



"I can be without anyone
but not without You."



"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!"


"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."


"However much we describe and explain love, when we fall in love we are ashamed of our words."


"If you are looking for a friend who is faultless,
you will be friendless."





"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."
"One day your heart will take you to your Lover.
One day your soul will carry you to the Beloved.
Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your
pain will become your cure."

"Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full."


"Your body is away from me
But there is a window open
from my heart to yours.
From this window, like the moon
I keep sending news secretly."



"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
