Jalal ad-Din Rumi quotes
[Rumi was born in 1207 in Afganistan and until the age of thirty-seven was a brilliant scholar and popular teacher. But his life changed forever when he met Shams of Tabriz, of whom Rumi said, "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being." From this mysterious and esoteric friendship came a new height of spiritual enlightenment. When Shams disappeared, Rumi began his transformation from scholar to artist, and his poetry began to fly. After a very prolific life as a poet and Sufi mystic, Rumi died in Konya, Turkey where he had lived most of his life 1]See memes: Love
Rumi - Thoughts Of Divine Love n Wisdom
“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.”
“You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?”
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart. -Rumi.
Let your teacher be LOVE itself
Love drives you mad
from revelation to revelation
through ordeal after ordeal
until humble and broken
you are carried tenderly
into the heart of the rose.
~Rumi♥
LOVE is reckless; not reason.
Reason seeks a profit.
LOVE comes on strong, consuming herself, unabashed.
Without you I swear - even if I fly, I'm sad as a
dark cloud.
Without you - even in a rose garden I feel in prison.
I swear again!
There is someone who looks after us
from behind the curtain.
In truth we are not here.
This is our shadow!
~Rumi♥
You have to
keep breaking your HEART-
until it opens!
They say there is a window
from one heart to another!
How can there be a window
where no wall remains?
'Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,
No light and no land anywhere,
Cloud cover thick,
I try to stay just above the surface,
Yet I'm already under and living within the ocean.'
~Rumi
Love drives you mad
from revelation to revelation
through ordeal after ordeal
until humble and broken
you are carried tenderly
into the heart of the rose.
~Rumi♥
You should be silent,
because when you are in silence
you plunge more deeply into
the world of ecstasy.
The religion of Love
is a sea without
a shore,where the
Lovers drown
without a sigh,
without a cry.
