The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.

More quotes by Rumi
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
Rumi
Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.
Rumi
Do you hear what the music is saying? 'Come follow me and you will find the way. Your mistakes can also lead you to the truth. When you ask, the answer will be given.'
Rumi
If your heart isn't yet illumined Be awake always, be a seeker of the heart, Be at war continually with your carnal soul. But if your heart is already awakened, Sleep peacefully, sleep in the arms of Love
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Rumi
You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
This is enough was always true. We just haven't seen it.
Rumi
