There can be both bad and good in a person of love. Don’t look at it, look at the root - and you will see the light coming from you.

As soon as Allah asked the people: “Am I not your Lord?” – I instantly comprehended his law! I've been in love for a long time.

If the secret of the universe were to reveal itself during a sigh, you would realize the nonsense of this life, killing yourself in the blink of an eye. But drunk with yourself, in eternal darkness, you are doomed to doze until the wine of the prophet awakens in the destroyed tavern.

In the slaughterhouse of love, only the best are killed, Not the weak, the ugly and the unlucky. There is no need to be afraid of such a death. Killed not by love? You know, he lived like carrion!

This Persian poet is less famous in our country than Nizami, Avicenna, Saadi or Khayyam, although undeservedly. Rumi Jalaluddin had the opportunity to become famous in various fields, he achieved success in Islamic theology, jurisprudence and Sufi mysticism. Many of his scientific works had a huge impact on the culture of the ancient Middle East due to the ability of this outstanding man to destroy established barriers, the ability to look at life from an unusual angle and have his own opinion on a variety of issues that concern humanity today.

The fate of the poet

Rumi (Mevlana) was born into the family of the famous Persian lawyer, theologian and preacher Behaeddin in 1207. The father of the future poet had to flee persecution for his free-thinking views, from which we can conclude that the ability and desire for free-thinking was inherited by his son. However, the young man grew up inquisitive and received an excellent education, and not only the humanities (legal and theosophical), he also studied the exact sciences.

Rumi's worldview was formed under the influence of Islamic religious doctrine; he firmly believed in the immortality of the soul, and defined atheism with the rather crude word “bestiality.”

Literary heritage

After his father's death (1231), the poet took over his position as court scholar. Years of wandering, the disorder of Iranian social life and other circumstances finally made him a Sufi pantheist, which led to a conflict with the clergy.

Rumi did not leave very many literary works (but also quite a few; over fifty thousand couplets are included in just one of his didactic poems), and all of them, of course, deserve the reader’s attention. In his poems, philosophical and ascetic ideas and frank eroticism, characteristic of other poets of the East, peacefully coexist. Below are 20 quotes that give some insight into Rumi's work. Perhaps they will arouse interest and encourage someone to read his poems in more detail.

Poetry and prose

“You won’t find your love anywhere.

She's in you all the time"

“Fly through the secret skies, when clothes fly off in an instant,

Firstly, to escape from life,

The second is to walk without feeling the ground.

This is love!

“You don’t need to look for love,

But just find the barriers

Inside themselves, interfering with her"

"And a thousand half-lovers are not worth

Only one truly loving heart"

“No matter how much we strive to describe and explain love, we are ashamed of our words when we fall in love.”

“Love is only a bridge between us and everything else”

“If you haven't found me in yourself, you'll never find me. For I have been with you from the very beginning"

“Words can explain a lot, but they make love even more inexplicable.”

“The mind is powerless to express love”

“Only with a heart can you touch the sky”

“Let the beauty of your love be the beauty of your deeds”

"I am yours. Don't let me come back to you"

“When I’m with you, I can’t sleep all night.

And without you I can’t sleep either.

Thank God for these two insomnias,

And the difference between them"

Recognize you when they see you around the corner.

Inhale your scent

Entering the palace you abandoned.

A light gait with the clicking of heels...

To know your lips, even just a little,

When I lean over to kiss you.

I want to feel the thrill of my heart,

When you whisper to me “more!”

“From your light I will learn to love,

Your beauty is like writing poetry.

You dance in my chest, where no one sees us,

But sometimes art is visible"

“Farewells for those who love with their eyes.

For those who love with heart and soul, there is no parting."

“Only two will never get enough,”

Lover of women, and lover of knowledge"

“Wherever you are and whatever you do, always love!”

“Allow yourself to be at the mercy of a strange craving

To what you really love.

By allowing, you will never get lost."

“There is a place between the righteous and the sinful.

I'll wait for you there"
