Rumi Worry Quotations

Soul, if you want to learn secrets,
 your heart must forget about shame
 and dignity. You are God's lover,
 yet you worry what people are saying.

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.

Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?

The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.

Oh Soul! You worry too much. Your arms are heavy with treasures of all kinds.

Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.

When you see the setting, wait for the rising. Why worry about a sunset or a fading moon?

I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
