The way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.

More quotes by Rumi
Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
Swim out of your little pond.
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Cease looking for flowers! There blooms a garden in your own home. While you look for trinkets The treasure house awaits you in your own being.
Rumi
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Rumi
Passion makes the old medicine new: Passion lops off the bough of weariness. Passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Rumi
I am a child whose teacher is LOVE surely my master won't let me grow to be a fool.
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
