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
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Rumi
Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.
Rumi
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

Rumi
We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
God writes spiritual Mysteries on our heart, where they wait silently for discovery.
Rumi
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
