How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.

More quotes by Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
Rumi
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
Rumi
Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.
Rumi
Carry your baggage towards silence , when you seek the signs of the way.
Rumi
I'm dominated by Love, By my passion of love for Love
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
I learned that every mortal will taste death. But only some will taste life.
Rumi
If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
Love possesses seven hundred wings, and each one extends from the highest heaven to the lowest earth.
Rumi
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
