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
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Rumi
Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your Heart from the darkness of hate
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
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
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Rumi
The message behind the words is the voice of the heart.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
If thou has not seen the devil, look at thine own self.
Rumi
Hear from the heart wordless mysteries.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
Everyone is overridden by thoughts that's why they have so much heartache and sorrow.
Rumi
