You've been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under, and deeper under, a thousand times deeper!

More quotes by Rumi
The body itself is to reveal the light that's blazing inside your Presence.
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
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
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
Love risks everything and asks for nothing.
Rumi
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there.
Rumi
