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
Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Feeling lonely and ignoble indicates that you haven't been patient.
Rumi
Actually, your soul and mine are the same. We appear and disappear with each other.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
Rumi
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested ... That's where the Light enters you.
Rumi
This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.
Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
