We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear

More quotes by Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
Nearness to God is common to us all, Because we're all created and sustained by God, But only the authentically noble Possess and live that nearness That's a constant upswelling passion of love.
Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
Rumi
Feeling lonely and ignoble indicates that you haven't been patient.
Rumi
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
Don't run away from grief, o’ soul/ Look for the remedy inside the pain/ because the rose came from the thorn/ and the ruby came from a stone.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!
Rumi
