Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!

More quotes by Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!
Rumi
I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at meanspirited roadhouses.
Rumi
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
Rumi
Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
There's a path from your HEART to mine.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Wisdom tells us we are not worthy Love tells us we are. My life flows between the two.
Rumi
