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
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
Love risks everything and asks for nothing.
Rumi
Anyone who knows me, should learn to know me again For I am like the Moon, you will see me with new face everyday.
Rumi
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
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
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.
Rumi
Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover
Rumi
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
Rumi
