Great Quotes #137: Jalaluddin Rumi (continued)

in greatquotes •  7 years ago 

SOURCE

There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.

Jalaluddin Rumi

    How does a part of the world leave the world?
    How can wetness leave water?

    Do not try to put out a fire
    by throwing on more fire.
    Do not wash a wound with blood.

    No matter how fast you run,
    your shadow more than keeps up.
    Sometimes it's in front.

    Only full, overhead sun
    diminishes your shadow.

    But that shadow has been serving you.
    What hurts you blesses you.
    Darkness is your candle.
    Your boundaries are your quest.

    God picks up the reed-flute world and blows.
    Each note is a need coming through one of us,
    a passion, a longing pain.
    Remember the lips
    where the wind-breath originated,
    and let your note be clear.
    Don't try to end it.
    Be your note.

    Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity?
    Why would you refuse to give
    this joy to anyone?

    Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups!
    They swim the huge fluid freedom.

    Intelligence is a God-given gift and therefore, you ought to use it to make the world a better place.

    Intelligence is not what you know but where your mind can take you.

    The true essence of intelligence is the ability to accept and acclimate to change.

    The intelligent may be ahead of the race, but the hardworking and persistent one will always win.
