We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror

More quotes by Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
Inside any deep asking is the answering.
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
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Rumi
I am sunlight slicing the dark.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
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
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
Rumi
A divine dance appears in the soul and the body at the time of peace and union.Anyone can learn the dance, just listen to the music.
Rumi
The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
Rumi
The breath of the flute player: does it belong to the flute?
Rumi
