The beautiful words of Rumi <3

Published by Hummus on 9 August, 2012 - 14:27

This is a dedication for Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi.

The works of Rumi are marvelled at throughout the world, long after he had passed away. Have you ever heard of him? Do you know much about him? What legacy did he leave behind and why have millions been inspired by him?

Here, I'd like you to mention anything you know about him and his family. It would be even better if you shared examples of the beautiful words, quotes, poetry and prose that he wrote and what you like about them.

For what only appears in the Roots'.

‎'In generosity and helping others, be like a river. In compassion and grace, be like the sun. In concealing other’s faults, be like the night. In anger and fury, be as if you have died. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. And either appear as you are, or be as you appear'.
