And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.

More quotes by Rumi
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
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
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
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
I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
There goes a river dragging an ocean behind it.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
Rumi
In our hearts there burns a fire... That burns all veils to their root and foundation When those veils have been burned away Then the heart will understand completely. Ancient love will unfold ever-fresh forms In the heart of the Spirit, In the core of the heart.
Rumi
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
You transform all those who are touched by You.
Rumi
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
Passion makes the old medicine new: Passion lops off the bough of weariness. Passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Rumi
