Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.

Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.

Rumi
Love's secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, Here I am!

Rumi
We are the mirror, as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
We are pain and what cures pain.
We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Soul of the world, no life, nor world remain,
no beautiful women and men longing.
Only this ancient love circling the holy black stone of nothing.
Where the lover is the loved, the horizon and everything within it.

Rumi
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.

Rumi
What is the body? That shadow of a shadow
of your love, that somehow contains
the entire universe.

Rumi
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.

there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.

Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.

Rumi
They will ask you
what you have produced.
Say to them,
except for Love,
what else can a Lover produce?

Rumi
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

Rumi
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.

Rumi
Love said to me,
there is nothing that is not me.
Be silent.

Rumi
Quit acting like a wolf, and feel
the shepherd's love filling you.

Rumi
Walk to the well.
Turn as the earth and the moon turn,
circling what they love.
Whatever circles comes from the center.

Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Rumi
Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name?
Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,
and is gained by a hundred means of persuasion.
Since Love is loyal, it purchases one who is loyal:
it has no interest in a disloyal companion.
The human being resembles a tree; its root is a covenant with God:
that root must be cherished with all one's might.

Rumi
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous,
Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.

Rumi
If the house of the world is dark, Love will find a way to create windows.

Rumi
Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. In the depths there is a spring with all the water your heart is thirsty for.

Rumi
Love rushed into my veins emptying me of myself. Now filled with the Beloved my only possession is my name.

Rumi
Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.

Rumi
A soul which is not clothed
with the inner garment of Love
should be ashamed of its existence.

Rumi
Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises

Rumi
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.

Rumi
