Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.

More quotes by Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
Your kindness cannot be said. You open doors in the sky. You ease the heart and make God's qualities visible.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
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
The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
The gates made of light swing open. You see in.
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
Rumi
Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.
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
I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want that love that will raise the dead. I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
Rumi
