If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.

More quotes by Rumi
Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
Rumi
Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry Happy the eye that sheds tears for His sake Fortunate the heart that burns for His sake Laughter always follow tears Blessed are those who understand Life blossoms wherever water flows Where tears are shed divine mercy is shown
Rumi
Even though you tie a hundred knots, the string remains one.
Rumi
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!
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
There is a window between heart and heart: They are never separate like two bodies. Two lamps may not be united in their form - But their light merges into each other.
Rumi
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
Rumi
The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
Find the sweetness in your own heart, then you may find the sweetness in every heart.
Rumi
The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Rumi
Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season.
Rumi
Practice patience it is the essence of praise. Have patience, for that is true worship. No other worship is worth as much. Have patience patience is the key to all relief.
Rumi
