How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.

Rumi
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi

Come into my eyes, and look at me through them, for I have chosen a home far beyond what eyes can see.
Rumi
Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
