More quotes by Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
Don’t wait any longer. Dive in the ocean, Leave and let the sea be you.
Rumi
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.
Rumi
Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.
Rumi
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
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
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
The breath of the flute player: does it belong to the flute?
Rumi
There is a place where voices sing your beauty, A place where every breath carves your image in my soul.
Rumi
When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath, in that moment you will find your true destiny. Alas, don't spoil this precious moment. Moments like this are very, very rare.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!'
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
Rumi
I have no name for what circles so perfectly.
Rumi
If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Rumi
