Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.

Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.

Gratitude, Wine, Drunk

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.

Sweet, Pain, Wine

The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether, Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.

Spiritual, Wine, Intellectual

Rumi (2014). “'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian”, p.117, Lulu.com

If the wine drinker has a deep gentleness in him, he will show that when drunk. But if he has hidden anger and arrogance, those appear.

Spiritual, Wine, Two

Creatures are cups. The sciences and the arts and all branches of knowledge are inscriptions around the outside of the cups. When a cup shatters, the writing can no longer be read. The wine's the thing! The wine that's held in the mold of these physical cups. Drink the wine and know what lasts and what to love. The man who truly asks must be sure of two things: One, that he's mistaken in what he's doing or thinking now. And two, that there is a wisdom he doesn't know yet. Asking is half of knowing.

Art, Writing, Wine

Learn to recognize the false dawn from the true; distinguish the color of the wine from the color of the cup. Then it may be that patience and time may produce, out of the spectrum-viewing sight, true vision, and you will behold colors other than these mortal hues, you will see pearls instead of stones. Pearls, did I say? Nay more, you will become a sea, you will become a sun traveling the sky.

Wine, Thoughtful, Sight

There are thousands of wines that can take over our minds. Don't think all ecstasies are the same!

Wine, Divorce, Thinking

Rumi (2015). “Selected Poems”, p.33, Penguin UK

Passion is present when a man can distinguish between the wine and the container. Two men see a loaf of bread. One hasn't eaten anything for ten days. The other has eaten five times a day, every day. He sees the shape of the loaf. The other man with his urgent need sees inside into the taste, and into the nourishment the bread could give. Be that hungry, to see within all beings the Friend.

Passion, Wine, Men

Lovers drink wine all day and night and tear the veils of the mind. When drunk with love's wine, body, heart and soul become one.

Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.

The wine of this fleeting world caused your head to ache.

Wine, Fleeting World, Ache

Rumi (2014). “'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian”, p.63, Lulu.com

You've gotten drunk on so many kinds of wine. Taste this. It won't make you wild. It's fire. Give up, if you don't understand by this time that your living is firewood.

Giving Up, Wine, Fire

I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.

Wine, Butterfly, Light

The intellectual quest, though fine as pearl or coral, is not the spiritual search. That spiritual search is on another level. Spiritual wine is a different substance.

Spiritual, Wine, Soul

We gather at night to celebrate being human. Sometimes we call out low to the tambourine. Fish drink the sea, but the sea does not get smaller! We eat the clouds and evening light. We are slaves tasting the royal wine.

Wine, Night, Clouds

Until the juice ferments a while in the cask, it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright, you must do a little work.

Heart, Wine, Soul

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi (2016). “Love is a Stranger”, p.64, Shambhala Publications

As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?

Jobs, Wine, Unemployment

Jelaluddin Rumi (2005). “The Rumi Collection”, p.30, Shambhala Publications

Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about "what's needed."

Kings, Wine, Judging

Rumi (2014). “'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian”, p.62, Lulu.com

Without you the instruments would die. One sits close beside you. Another takes a long kiss. The tambourine begs, Touch my skin so I can be myself. Let me feel you enter each limb bone by bone, that what died last night can be whole today. Why live some soberer way, and feel you ebbing out? I won't do it. Either give me enough wine or leave me alone, now that I know how it is to be with you in constant conversation.

Wine, Kissing, Night

Either give me more wine or leave me alone.

Inspirational, Spiritual, Wine

Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself; for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.

Wine, Conformity, Existence

Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!

Wine, Intelligent, Men
