I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

More quotes by Rumi
There is a window between heart and heart: They are never separate like two bodies. Two lamps may not be united in their form - But their light merges into each other.
Rumi
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
There is a window from one heart to another heart.
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.
Rumi
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Whatever you are looking for can only be found inside of you.
Rumi
God made the Illusion look Real and the Real an Illusion !
Rumi
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
Your name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
Rumi
