Rumi Knowing Quotations

You and I have spoken all these words, but for the way we have to go,words are no preparation. I have one small drop of knowing in my soul. Let it dissolve in your ocean

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.

I said, “I just want to know you and then disappear.” She said, “Knowing me does not mean dying.

Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace

The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.

There is no worse torture than knowing intellectually about love and the way.

And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.

Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul.

Stop learning. Start knowing
