Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.

More quotes by Rumi
LOVE is what gives joy to giving joy.
Rumi
Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
Rumi
Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
Rumi
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
Rumi
There is only one search: wandering... no dogma and no heresy.
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
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
people want you to be happy, don't keep serving them your pain
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
Don't regret what's happened. If it's in the past, LET IT GO. Don't even remember it!
Rumi
