When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.

More quotes by Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
Wash the dust from your SOUl and HEART with wisdom's WATER.
Rumi
For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden for the land animals, it is death and pain.
Rumi
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
Rumi
Come out of the circle of time And into the circle of love.
Rumi
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
Revile those who flatter you.
Rumi
Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .
Rumi
Those with open hearts always have open hands.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.
Rumi
