Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!

More quotes by Rumi
Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.
Rumi
Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison When the door is so wide open?
Rumi
If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.
Rumi
Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy
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
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
A lifetime without Love is of no account Love is the Water of Life Drink it down with heart and soul!
Rumi
We may know who we are or we may not. We may be Muslims, Jews or Christians but until our hearts become the mould for every heart we will see only our differences.
Rumi
Even though you're not equipped, keep searching: equipment isn't necessary on the way to the Lord.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
Fasting blinds the body in order to open the eyes of your soul.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
Swim out of your little pond.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
