Rumi

The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.

Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.

The morning wind spreads its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that from the Unknown blows toward us. That deliciousness, that nourishment, that sweet sound that comes from We don't know where. That is what we are. We are not of this world. We are just visiting.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

I am not from this world. I am not even from that world. I am from the world of no-place, no-direction.

The cure for the pain is in the pain.

Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the pond.

Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn't reach into love.

The very ground on which you stand is holy.

There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

If Light is in your heart, you will find your way home.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

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

Ignorance is God's prison. Knowledge is God's palace.

The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.

Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
