Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!

More quotes by 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
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Rumi
On this path let the heart be your guide.
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
Your radiance shines in every atom of creation yet our petty desires keep it hidden.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your heart.
Rumi
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
Rumi
Woman is the light of God.
Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
This mirror inside me shows. I can’t say what, but I can’t not know. I run from body. I run from spirit. I do not belong anywhere.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
Rumi
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
