There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens with wandering talk it closes.

More quotes by Rumi
Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all.
Rumi
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
Rumi
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
Rumi
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Rumi
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?
Rumi
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Rumi
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.
Rumi
Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.
Rumi
