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
Never lose hope when the beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion.
Rumi
The day is conscious of itself.
Rumi
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens with wandering talk it closes.
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
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
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
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.
Rumi
What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
