Rumi

Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!

The light of the sun is the light of the moon, and the light of the moon is the light of the stars.

When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.

There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens.

The moment you accept what troubles you've been given, the door will open.

There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.

The intelligent man is one who has successfully identified the things he does not know.

The bread that you are eating is made of the dust of your ancestors.

The way you make others feel is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.

Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to abandon what you think is your position and look from another angle.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. I will meet you there.

The source of my sorrow is my own self.

The only lasting truth is change.

What is planted in the heart of a friend is never wasted.

The world is a mountain, and whatever you say, the echo comes back to you.

Don't look for the water, look for the thirst.

The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense.
