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
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Rumi
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
Every bird will follow it's specie.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
Pure souls, didn’t I tell you not to be seduced by this colorful world for I am the Ultimate Painter.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'
Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
Rumi
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
To Love is to be God. Never will a Lover's chest feel any sorrow. Never will a Lover's robe be touched by mortals. Never will a Lover's body be found buried in the earth. To Love is to be God.
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
