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
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset
Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?
Rumi
I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
Rumi
If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.
Rumi
Protect yourself......from your own thoughts.
Rumi
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
Rumi
Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
Love's nationality is separate from all other religions, The lover's religion and nationality is the Beloved (God). The lover's cause is separate from all other causes Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries.
Rumi
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Rumi
We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.
Rumi
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Rumi
Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
