Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
Finding faults is for those with tired minds.

Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi

Rumi
You have no need to travel anywhere - journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
Rumi

Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
I was dead, then alive. Weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I became fierce like a lion, then tender like the evening star.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
Protect yourself......from your own thoughts.
Rumi
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
