I was once like you, enlightened and rational, I too scoffed at lovers, Now I am drunk, crazed, thin with misery. No one is safe! Watch out.

More quotes by Rumi
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
Rumi
You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
LOVE is what gives joy to giving joy.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
Rumi
Finding faults is for those with tired minds.
Rumi
Bathe in the splendor of your own Light.
Rumi
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.
Rumi
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
Never lose hope when the beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion.
Rumi
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.
Rumi
When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath, in that moment you will find your true destiny. Alas, don't spoil this precious moment. Moments like this are very, very rare.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
