View all Rumi Quotes
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.

Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.

Rumi
The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both,
you don't belong with us.

Rumi
Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.

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
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.

Rumi
I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.

Rumi
A true Lover is proved such by his pain of Heart!
No sickness is there like sickness of Heart!!!

Rumi
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
