Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.

More quotes by Rumi
Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum.
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
Rumi
Stop searching here and there, the jewels are inside YOU.
Rumi
Love, the supreme musician, is always playing in our souls
Rumi
Oh Beloved, take me. Liberate my soul. Fill me with your love and release me from the two worlds. If I set my heart on anything but you let fire burn me from inside. Oh Beloved, take away what I want. Take away what I do. Take away what I need. Take away everything that takes me from you.
Rumi
Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
Although I may try to describe Love, When I experience it, I am speechless.
Rumi
Everything you possess of skill, and wealth, and handicraft, wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest?
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
I am an ark in the swift flood of time, and my companions, a fellowship. Who throws in with us sails into light.
Rumi
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Rumi
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
