Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

More quotes by Rumi
You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.
Rumi
If you can't smell the fragrance don't come into the garden of Love. if you are unwilling to undress don't enter into the stream of Truth. Stay where you are, don't come our way
Rumi
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
I seem restless, but am deeply at ease. Branches tremble the roots are still.
Rumi
Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
Rumi
Whoever's calm and sensible is insane!
Rumi
