Love and Life quotations - Kahlil Gibran





"When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you."
Kahlil Gibran

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Kahlil Gibran



"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
Kahlil Gibran



Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Kahlil Gibran






Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Kahlil Gibran

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Kahlil Gibran




To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Kahlil Gibran
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Kahlil Gibran
Weekend with Rumi

On my other blog Spiritual Connections i started to discuss about inspiration. The quote above suggests inspiration as being a must, a necessity for one's grow and spiritual evolution.
Thus, inspiration is in fact a response given by the soul's voice, which we are able to listen sometimes, but especially during meditation.

Bellow i am offering you some inspiration tools in images, quotations and poetry by Rumi.

All through eternity
Beauty unveils His exquisite form
in the solitude of nothingness;
He holds a mirror to His Face
and beholds His own beauty.
he is the knower and the known,
the seer and the seen;
No eye but His own
has ever looked upon this Universe.


His every quality finds an expression:
Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space;
Love, the life-giving garden of this world.
Every branch and leaf and fruit
Reveals an aspect of His perfection-
They cypress give hint of His majesty,
The rose gives tidings of His beauty.


Whenever Beauty looks,
Love is also there;
Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
Love lights Her fire from that flame.
When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
Love comes and finds a heart
entangled in tresses.
Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.


They have together
since the beginning of time-
Side by side, step by step.





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



Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Learn To Live





The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal.

"Think highly of yourself because the world takes you at your own estimate."

Don't fear pressure for pressure is what turns rough stones into diamonds

Live each day in the present and make it beautiful.

"Believe that your life is worth living and your beliefs will help create the fact."

Wherever you go, take your whole heart along.

"If you love life, life will love you back." !

"Heal the past, live the present, dream the future."

"Don't count the days make the days count."

The key to happiness is having dreams... The key to success is making dreams come true.

The world is like a mirror if you face it smiling, it smiles right back!

"Happiness is not having what you want. It's wanting what you have."

Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.

"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."

Good times, become good memories. Bad times, become good lessons

It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast ..

Succes is to get what you want , Luck is to keep what you get.

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges."

Have a nice day and a HAPPY LIFE!
The Prophet of Love
Kahlil Gibran on Love

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.




love


When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the season less world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

love

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
