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
Smiles come best from those who weep.
Rumi
On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.
Rumi
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
Rumi
Everything that you want, you are already that.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.
Rumi
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
Rumi
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. But this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.
Rumi
I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want that love that will raise the dead. I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
