There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.

More quotes by Rumi
On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Oh! joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color! For beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.
Rumi
If your heart isn't yet illumined Be awake always, be a seeker of the heart, Be at war continually with your carnal soul. But if your heart is already awakened, Sleep peacefully, sleep in the arms of Love
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
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
Rumi
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
Rumi
Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
Rumi
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
Even though you're not equipped, keep searching: equipment isn't necessary on the way to the Lord.
Rumi
