Quote

Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.

More quotes by Rumi

Image
I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?
Rumi
Image
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Image
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
Image
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
Rumi
Image
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Rumi
Image
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
Image
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
Rumi
Image
Flowers every night Blossom in the sky Peace in the Infinite, At peace am I.
Rumi
Image
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
Image
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Image
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
Image
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Image
If your thought is a rose, you are a rose garden and if it is a thistle, you are fuel for the fire.
Rumi
Image
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Image
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
Image
Don't stray from your Heart's intent.
Rumi
Image
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
Image
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
Image
When you notice a fault in your neighbour, search for the same in yourself.
Rumi
Image
Ecstatic Love is an ocean, and the Milky Way is a flake of foam floating on it.
Rumi
