More quotes by Rumi
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.
Rumi

Rumi
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.

Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
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
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
Rumi
No One in the Entire World is as Precious as You are.
Rumi
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi

Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
