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
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
Kill the cow of your ego as quickly as you can, so that your inner spirit can come to life and attain true awareness.
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
Rumi
Don’t wait any longer. Dive in the ocean, Leave and let the sea be you.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Rumi
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Rumi
People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
Rumi
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
Rumi
Dear soul, don't set a high value on someone before they deserve it You either lose them or ruin yourself...!
Rumi
No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing.
Rumi
