As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?

More quotes by Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
Rumi
When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.
Rumi
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Rumi
When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath, in that moment you will find your true destiny. Alas, don't spoil this precious moment. Moments like this are very, very rare.
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Your breath touched my soul and I saw beyond all limits.
Rumi
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Rumi
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
Your real country is where you're heading, not where you are.
Rumi
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there seek inside.
Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Rumi
