Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi Quotes

    * Open the love window.
      The moon won't use the door,
      only the window.
     
  A lifetime without 

  Love is of    no    account
  Love is the Water of Life
  Drink it down with heart and    
 * The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon
      So powerful I fell to the ground
      Your love has made me sure
      I am ready to forsake this worldly life
      and surrender to the magnificence of your Being
     
    * If I love myself
      I love you.
      If I love you
      I love myself.

    * With passion pray.
      With passion work.
      With passion make love.

    * Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
      The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
      Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,

    * This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.

    * The intellectual is always showing off,

      afraid of drowning;
      the whole business of love
      is to drown in the sea.

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.

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.

He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, 'Live!'

In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words...
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.

Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.

We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.

You think the shadow is the substance.

absentminded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be.

burns with the fire of passion.
Lovers leave traces of where they've been.
The wailing of broken hearts
is the doorway to God.
