Rumi Quotes About Grace

• Grace comes to forgive and then forgive again.

  Rumi

  Grace, Forgiving

• Every midwife knows
  that not until a mother’s womb
  softens from the pain of labor
  will a way unfold
  and the infant find that opening to be born.
  Oh friend!
  There is treasure in your heart,
  it is heavy with child.
  Listen.
  All the awakened ones,
  like trusted midwives are saying,
  'welcome this pain.
  It opens the dark passage of Grace.

  Rumi

  Mother, Children, Pain

• Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

• Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.

  Rumi

  Motivational, Self, Grace

• Love is reckless; not reason. Reason seeks a profit. Loves comes on strong, consuming herself unabashed. Yet in the midst of suffering love proceeds like a millstone, hard surfaced and straight forward. Having died to self interest, she risks everything and asks for nothing. Love gambles away every gift God bestows. Without cause God gave us Being; without cause give it back again. Gambling yourself away is beyond any religion. Religion seeks grace and favor, but those who gamble these away are God's favorites, for they neither put God to the test nor knock at the door of gain and loss.

  Rumi

  Strong, Buddhist, Loss

  Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “Love Is Reckless”

• Limp along until your legs are spent, and you fall flat and your energy is drained. Then the grace of the Divine will lift you.

  Rumi

  Spiritual, Fall, Grace

• Never lose hope
  when the beloved
  sends you away.
  If you're abandoned
  if you're left hopeless
  tomorrow for sure
  you'll be called again.
  If the door is shut
  right in your face
  keep waiting with patience
  don't leave right away.
  Seeing your patience
  your love will soon
  summon you with grace
  raise you like a champion.

  Rumi

  Doors, Waiting, Grace

• Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.

  Rumi

  Love, Change, Wall

• Be helpless, dumbfounded, Unable to say yes or no. Then a stretcher will come from grace to gather us up. We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty. If we say we can, we’re lying. If we say No, we don’t see it, That No will behead us And shut tight our window onto spirit. So let us rather not be sure of anything, Beside ourselves, and only that, so Miraculous beings come running to help. Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute, We shall be saying finally, With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, We shall be a mighty kindness.

  Rumi

  Running, Zero, Kindness

  Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “Zero Circle”

• In this mob of I's inside, which one is me? Hear me out. I know I'm wandering, but don't start putting a lid on this racket. No telling what I'll do then. Every moment I'm thrown by your story. One moment it's happy, and I'm singing. One moment it's sad, and I'm weeping. It turns bitter, and I pull away. But then you spill a little grace, and just like that, I'm all light. It's not so bad, this arrangement, actually.

  Rumi

  Light, Grace, Singing

• You cannot learn about Love, LOVE appears on the wings of grace.

  Rumi
