Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.

More quotes by Rumi
We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.
Rumi
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passesit is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.
Rumi
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
Find the sweetness in your own heart, then you may find the sweetness in every heart.
Rumi
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
I said: what about my eyes? God said: Keep them on the road. I said: what about my passion? God said: Keep it burning. I said: what about my heart? God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? I said: pain and sorrow? He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Rumi
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
Rumi
Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.
Rumi
Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
Rumi
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
Rumi
On this path let the heart be your guide.
Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
Awe is the salve that will heal our eyes.
Rumi
