The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?

More quotes by Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me. My body is in Love with the soul and the soul is in Love with my body. I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a lover.
Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
Rumi
I was once like you, enlightened and rational, I too scoffed at lovers, Now I am drunk, crazed, thin with misery. No one is safe! Watch out.
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
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves.
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
