Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.

More quotes by Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
This silence, this moment, every moment, If it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you are an employee. If you want the unseen world you are not living with your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is loves confusing joy.
Rumi
Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.
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 world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
Love is the soul's light, the taste of morning, no me, no we, no claim of being.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Whoever's calm and sensible is insane!
Rumi
