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.

More quotes by Rumi
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
This is enough was always true. We just haven't seen it.
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
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
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
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
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Rumi
When something goes wrong, accuse yourself first. Even the wisdom of Plato or Solomon can wobble and go blind
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
The Heart of the matter is Soul, nothing else.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
Rumi
