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
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings.
Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .
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
He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.
Rumi
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
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
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Rumi
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.
Rumi
Any one in love will have no religion.
Rumi
If thou wilt be observant and vigilant, thou wilt see at every moment the response to thy action. Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart, for something is born to thee in consequence of every action.
Rumi
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Rumi
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Rumi
