Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.

More quotes by Rumi
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.
Rumi
Love's nationality is separate from all other religions, The lover's religion and nationality is the Beloved (God). The lover's cause is separate from all other causes Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant.
Rumi
Be soulful. Be kind. Be in love.
Rumi
That hurt we embrace becomes joy. Call it to your arms where it can change.
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
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
