My Favorite Rumi Quotes



Compassion My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen totheir sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.

Your Task "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and findall the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

Love Story "The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."

Knowledge of Mysteries "Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart."

Hope "Come, come again, whoever you are, come! Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come! Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times. Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are."

Beauty "Life/Soul is like a clear mirror; the body is dust on it. Beauty in us is not perceived, for we are under the dust."

Fire and Smoke "The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret."

The Faithful "Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your ownnature reflected in them. As the Prophet said, 'The faithful are mirrors to one another."

Die in Love "Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love; die in Love if you want to remain alive."
