The Wisdom of Rumi

Love is the religion; The Universe is the Book.

Only love can explain itself.

Protect yourself from your own thoughts.

The real Beloved is your beginning and your end. When you find that one, You'll no longer expect anything else

Ordinary eyes categorize human beings, That one is a Zoroastrian. This one, Muslim. Walk instead with the other vision given you, Your first eyes.

I came back to you because I could not find The kind and decent things I found in you anywhere else.

This is love: To fly toward a secret, To cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.

Everyone has someone to take care for them But look at me; I have no one. Take my hand.

Lay aside caution, it cannot help you against destiny

You’ve so distracted me, your absence fans my love.

In your blackest of moments, wait With no fear

There is a place born of silence, A place where the whispers of the heart arise. There is a place where voices sing your beauty, A place where every breath carves your image in my soul.

Treasure is stored among the ruins. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken.

The cure for the pain is in the pain.

You have within you more love than you could ever understand.

Our death is our wedding with eternity.
