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
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
The radiant one in me has never said a word.
Rumi
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Don't argue or answer rationally. Let us die, and dying, reply.
Rumi
Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, But don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
Angels dance only with You, Beloved and only before You do I bow in adoration. You may accept me or not but I will be at your feet forever.
Rumi
We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.
Rumi
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
Rumi
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
The day you were born, a ladder was set up to help you escape this world.
Rumi
Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that
Rumi
The satiated person and the hungry one do not see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread.
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
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
