Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Rumi
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
Rumi
Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?
Rumi
I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!'
Rumi

Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.
Rumi
You have escaped the cage. Your wings are stretched out. Now fly.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
Never lose hope when the beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion.
Rumi
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
