Rumi
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi

Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody.
Rumi
The Heart of the matter is Soul, nothing else.
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens with wandering talk it closes.
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
The quieter we become, the more we can hear.
Rumi
Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.
Rumi
