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
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
I am a child whose teacher is LOVE surely my master won't let me grow to be a fool.
Rumi
Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
Rumi
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there seek inside.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray that springs from the sacred depths of the soul.
Rumi
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
Although I may try to describe Love, When I experience it, I am speechless.
Rumi
There comes a holy and transparent time when every touch of beauty opens the heart to tears. This is the time the Beloved of heaven is brought tenderly on earth. This is the time of the opening of the ROSE.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi
