Whatever posessions and objects of its desires the lower self may obtain, it hangs on to them, refusing to let them go out of greed for more, or out of fear of poverty and need.

More quotes by Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone- he sets fire to the whole world.
Rumi
We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
Protect yourself......from your own thoughts.
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
Actually, your soul and mine are the same. We appear and disappear with each other.
Rumi
Deep in the HEART every mystery of spirit is hidden.
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
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
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
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
The waterwheel accepts water and turns and gives it away, weeping.
Rumi
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.
Rumi
Hall of Love has ten thousand swords. Don't be afraid to use one.
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
In the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love.
Rumi
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
