A Wealth You Cannot Imagine Flows Through

More From Rumi

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
Spring Heart Night
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.
Reality Men Silence
The secret to living in the rush of the world with a minimum of pain is to get as many people as possible to string along with your delusions; the trick to living alone up here, away from all agitating entanglements, allurements, and expectations, apart especially from one's own intensity, is to organize the silence, to think of its mountaintop plenitude as capital, silence as wealth exponentially increasing. the encircling silence as your chosen source of advantage and your only intimate.
Pain Thinking People
I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"
Mean Past People
Silence,they say,is the voice of complicity. but silence is impossible. silence screams. silence is the message,just as doing nothing is an act. let who you are ring out and resonate in every word and deed. yes,become who you are. there's no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. what you do is who you are. you are your own comeuppance. you become your own message. you are the message. in the spirit of crazy horse.
Horse Crazy Native American
Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.

Similar Quotes
I'm not thinking much about overall themes or preoccupations or anything like that. instead i'm just trusting that, if i'm working hard, various notions and riffs and motifs and so on are very naturally suffusing the stories and the resulting book.
Book Thinking Stories
What is indispensable to inspiration? ...sound sleep and the provocation of a good book or a companion.
Book Inspiration Sleep
[d]on't ever apologize to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that's what they're there for. use your library). don't apologize to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend's copy. what's important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. and that people who like things, tell other people. the most important thing is that people read.
Book Healing Hands
Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. a company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries, in a thousand years, have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom.
