Rumi

Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.

Rumi

As you live deeper in the Heart, the mirror gets clearer and cleaner.

Rumi

At every moment, Love’s voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.

Rumi

Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other’s faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.

Rumi

Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.

Rumi

Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.

Rumi

Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.

Rumi

Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.

Rumi

Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.

Rumi

Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.

Rumi
