We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.

More quotes by Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
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
Pure souls, didn’t I tell you not to be seduced by this colorful world for I am the Ultimate Painter.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Don't argue or answer rationally. Let us die, and dying, reply.
Rumi
Since Love has made ruins of my heart The sun must come and illumine them. Such generosity has broken me with shame.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love die in Love if you want to remain alive.
Rumi
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.
Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
Rumi
The intelligent desire self-control children want candy.
Rumi
A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.
Rumi
The love religion is all that is written here.
Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
