Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.

More quotes by Rumi
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.
Rumi
You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.
Rumi
Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.
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
The Heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Rumi
Regard a king as someone unconcerned with kingship.
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
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
Inside you there’s an artist you don’t know about… say yes quickly, if you know, if you’ve known it from before the beginning of the universe.
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
I am sunlight slicing the dark.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
The day you were born, a ladder was set up to help you escape this world.
Rumi
