Greatest Quotes #37: Jalaluddin Rumi

in greatestquotes •  7 years ago 

SOURCE

What is the light in the center of the darkness

inside your soul? A royal radiance

or a fantasy like the way the full moon

comes up sometimes in daylight?

But this is the sun itself,

Shams and a truth prior to the soul.

Human beings cannot endure such clarity.

We make statues, apply paint,

and use words with hidden allusions.

Jalaluddin Rumi

    In the love-ocean clothes are an embarrassment.
    Don't look to be famous here,
    and don't expect payment.

    An east wind bringing infinitesimal dust
    from Tabriz is the most I expect.

    You came suddenly and stole three things from me. The patience from my heart, the colour from my face and the sleep from my eyes.

    I love this world, even as I hear the great wind of leaving it rising, for there is a grainy taste I prefer to every idea of heaven: human friendship.

    Sometimes You are kind, sometimes unfaithful,
    You break my heart but
    My Love, my essence, do not go away
    I can’t be without You.

    You are the head and I am the feet
    You are the hand, I am our banner
    If You leave, I will perish
    I can’t be without You.
    You have erased my image, taken my sleep
    You’ve torn me away from everybody but
    I can’t be without You.
    I find no joy in life or relief in death.
    Why don’t You say it too.
    I can’t be without You.
