Rumi House Quotations

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

If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer, and always have been. Didn’t you know?

Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.

The spiritual path wrecks the body And afterwards restores it to health. It destroys the house to unearth the treasure, And with that treasure builds it better than before.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!

There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.

My friend, you thought you lost Him; that all your life you've been separated from Him. Filled with wonder, you've always looked outside for Him, and haven't searched within your own house.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.

Walk patiently through this troubled world, and you will find great treasure. Even though your house may be small, look within it!

I have found the heart and will never leave This house of light.

In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances

A wealth you cannot imagine flows through you. Do not consider what strangers say. Be secluded in your secret heart-house, that bowl of silence.

I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
