Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.

More quotes by 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
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
Rumi
The Soul is a stranger trying to find a Home somewhere that is not a where.
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Rumi
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi
God put thorns around the Love's door to stop anyone who's not a Lover from entering.
Rumi
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
Rumi
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
