The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi

More quotes by Rumi
O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.
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
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Flow down and down in always widening rings of being.
Rumi
If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
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
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
If you don't find true balance, anyone can deceive you.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden for the land animals, it is death and pain.
Rumi
Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!
Rumi
Nearness to God is common to us all, Because we're all created and sustained by God, But only the authentically noble Possess and live that nearness That's a constant upswelling passion of love.
Rumi
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
The Heart of the matter is Soul, nothing else.
Rumi
Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.
Rumi
When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
