Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God God is the sun.

More quotes by Rumi
If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.
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
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.
Rumi
Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
Rumi
The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!
Rumi
Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
Rumi
Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.
Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
