What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.

More quotes by Rumi
Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.
Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
Rumi
Why are you knocking at every door ? Go, knock at the door of your own heart.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
No One in the Entire World is as Precious as You are.
Rumi
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
Half-heartedne ss doesn't reach into majesty.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Pull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast! For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.
Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
Rumi
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love. We are running to contemplate its vast green field. Do you want to come with us?
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all.
Rumi
