Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī , anche conosciuto come Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī , più conosciuto come Mevlānā in Turchia e come Mawlānā nell'Iran e in Afghanistan, nato a Balkh il 30 settembre 1207 e morto a Konya il 17 dicembre 1273, è stato un ulema, teologo musulmano sunnita e poeta mistico di origine persiana.

Fondatore della confraternita sufi dei "dervisci rotanti" , è considerato il massimo poeta mistico della letteratura persiana. In seguito alla sua dipartita i suoi seguaci si organizzarono nell'ordine Mevlevi, con i cui riti tentavano di raggiungere stati meditativi per mezzo di danze rituali.

Citazioni di Rūmī

Gialal al-Din Rumi: Frasi in inglese

“Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name?
Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,
and is gained by a hundred means of persuasion.
Since Love is loyal, it purchases one who is loyal:
it has no interest in a disloyal companion.”

Jewels of Remembrance (1996)
Contesto: Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name?
Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,
and is gained by a hundred means of persuasion.
Since Love is loyal, it purchases one who is loyal:
it has no interest in a disloyal companion.
The human being resembles a tree; its root is a covenant with God:
that root must be cherished with all one's might.

“The ruby and the sunrise are one.”

As quoted in Head and Heart : A Personal Exploration of Science and the Sacred (2002) by Victor Mansfield
Contesto: He says, "There’s nothing left of me.
I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world
made of redness? It has no resistance
to sunlight." This is how Hallaj said, I am God,
and told the truth!The ruby and the sunrise are one. Be courageous and discipline yourself.
Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.

for sight.

“Listen to the answer.
There is no "other world." I only know what I've experienced. You must be hallucinating.”

As quoted in The Enlightened Mind (1991), edited by Stephen Mitchell
Contesto: Little by little, wean yourself. This is the gist of what I have to say. From an embryo, whose nourishment comes in the blood, move to an infant drinking milk, to a child on solid food, to a searcher after wisdom, to a hunter of more invisible game.
Think how it is to have a conversation with an embryo. You might say, "The world outside is vast and intricate. There are wheatfields and mountain passes, and orchards in bloom. At night there are millions of galaxies, and in sunlight the beauty of friends dancing at a wedding."
You ask the embryo why he, or she, stays cooped up in the dark with eyes closed. Listen to the answer.
There is no "other world." I only know what I've experienced. You must be hallucinating.

“I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life.”
