Rumi Quotes

Whereever you are and whatever you do be in love

AS YOU START TO WALK ON THE WAY, THE WAY APPEARS


Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form

What you seek is seeking you

Rumi

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.


Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction

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

Rumi


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




This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love you are.

Rumi

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

From Essential Rumi, by Coleman Barks
