Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.

More quotes by Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
Oh, wandering One, if you are in search of the greatest treasure, don't look outside. Look within, and seek That.
Rumi
The gates made of light swing open. You see in.
Rumi
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
I can heal a broken heart with a smile.
Rumi
The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
The waterwheel accepts water and turns and gives it away, weeping.
Rumi
If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.
Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
The way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.
Rumi
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover
Rumi
When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
