Rumi Quotes
- Christian, Jew, Muslim,
shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of
being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.
Rumi Quote
- Load the ship
and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the
harbor. Cautious people say, "I'll do nothing until I can be sure".
Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants
who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi Quote - When
you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
Quote - 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.
Rumi Quote - Everyone
is so afraid of death, but the real sufis just laugh: nothing tyrannizes their
hearts. What strikes the oyster shell does not damage the pearl.
Rumi Quote - Conventional
opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi Quote - Whatever
posessions and objects of its desires the lower self may obtain, it hangs on to
them, refusing to let them go out of greed for more, or out of fear of poverty
and need.
Rumi Quote - If
in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in
love with God will see only their own faces in it.
