quotes by mevlana rumi



Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi

(1207 - 1273)






















Who is Mevlana?

Mevlana who is also known as Rumi, was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian al
ike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds.

Mevlana's books are translated to many languages and are among the best selling books of their sort all over the world. At present, Mevlana, better known there as Rumi, is the "best selling poet" in United States of America. The Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks has sold more than a quarter of a million copies and is one of the top 1000 best selling books at Amazon. It is by far the largest selling poem book ever!

  • Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.They're in eachother all along.





  • If you don’t try to fly, and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it’s too late for all you could become.




  • I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.





  • Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.




  • The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.




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

I die a thousand times:
My ashes dance back-
A thousand new faces

let's adore one another
before there is no more
of you and me

-People are distracted by objects of desire,
and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged,
because they have indulged with a phantom
and are left even farther from Reality than before.

Don't lend your heart to anything else; all else is borrowed.

A life without love isn't a life






  • Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season.






-Love is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.
Imagine,
a suspended ocean,
riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.






-You were born with potential
You were born with goodness and trust
You were born with ideals and dreams
You were born with greatness
You were born with wings
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings
Learn to use them,and fly.






-Hold on to the reins of Love and don’t be afraid
Hold on to the real behind the false and don’t be afraid.






  • Wherever you stand be the soul of that place.





  • The soul: a wide listening sky with thousands of candles.






-No end, no end to the journey
no end, no end never
become the sky
take an axe to the prison wall,
escape
walk out like someone
suddenly born into color
do it now .

  • The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendor you need to burn in the fire of love.





  • By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.






-When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
When actions come from another section,
the feeling disappears.






  • Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.





-No mirror ever became iron again;
No bread ever became wheat;
No ripened grape ever became sour fruit.
Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse.
Become the light.






  • Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.

  • Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.





  • People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.





  • Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.





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




  • Come out of the circle of time, and into the circle of love.





  • What is a highway to one is a disaster to the other.





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

richard johnson



Born in Chicago to an artistic family, his earliest reminiscences are of pouring through Charles Dana Gibson, N.C. Wyeth, and John Singer Sargent books on rainy afternoons. While still in grade school he won a scholarship to the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. He later attended the American Academy of Art and upon graduation began a very successful career as an illustrator.

Turning his attentions to fine art after winning a competition in International Artists Magazine, Rick was invited to Japan where his one man show was so successful that he has been invited back numerous times and has developed an international base of collectors. He has also won many awards in competitions here in the United States including the Award of Excellence, in the Oil Painters of America 2003 Midwest regional Juried Competition.

Perhaps the term that best describes Rick's work is "Poetic Intimacy". His sure brush strokes, bold use of color and impasto, and delicate rendering of the human face and form all work together in a harmony that refuses to draw attention to themselves for their technical virtuosity, but rather to draw their viewer into the awareness that they are sharing one, serene, contemplative moment; that the light that pours over the subject's skin also caresses theirs.
