Beauty in the Words of Rumi

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to. Don’t try to see through the distances. That’s not for human beings.

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

If you are seeking, seek us with joy. For we live in the kingdom of joy.

Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.

I am yours. Don’t give myself back to me.

I see my beauty in you. I become a mirror that cannot close its eyes to your longing.

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.

The essence of all beauty I have ever known comes from their being who they are.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?

Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript of a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

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

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

Lose yourself. Be no one. Find everything.

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

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun, and immerse in the sea.

Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.

Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

If light is in your heart, you will find your way home.

Love is divine only and difficult always. If you think it is easy, you are a fool. If you think it is natural, you are blind.

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen.

What you seek is seeking you.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

Be grateful for whatever comes. Because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.

I am not this hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
