Rumi

Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.

Rumi

Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.

Rumi

Sadness to me is the happiest time, when a shining city rises from the ruins of my drunken mind. Those times when I’m silent and still as the earth, The thunder of my roar is heard across the universe.

Rumi

Search, no matter what situation you are in. O thirsty one, search for water constantly. Finally, the time will come when you will reach the spring.

Rumi

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

Rumi

Shine like the whole universe is yours.

Rumi

Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don’t seek the river. Don’t turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.

Rumi

Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song.

Rumi

Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.

Rumi

Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.

Rumi
