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
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
Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.
Rumi
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.

Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
Beauty surrounds us.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.
Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me. My body is in Love with the soul and the soul is in Love with my body. I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a lover.
Rumi
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
