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
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
Rumi
I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
The sun comes back every day with new and powerful secrets.
Rumi
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don't forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Start now.
Rumi
If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.
Rumi
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
Rumi
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Rumi
I lost everything i have, found myself.
Rumi
Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.
Rumi
I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'
Rumi
Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.
Rumi
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
Rumi
