I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.

More quotes by Rumi
Our purpose here on earth: to manifest the very nature of our spirit, which is touched by the spirit of God.
Rumi
We often need to be refreshed.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
Rumi
Stop searching here and there, the jewels are inside YOU.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his hear.
Rumi
How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!
Rumi
The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone- he sets fire to the whole world.
Rumi
The day you were born, a ladder was set up to help you escape this world.
Rumi
He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.
Rumi
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
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
Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.
Rumi
Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
Rumi
