The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.

More quotes by Rumi
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!
Rumi
When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath, in that moment you will find your true destiny. Alas, don't spoil this precious moment. Moments like this are very, very rare.
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
If you don't find true balance, anyone can deceive you.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi
My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage
Rumi
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
All the world Loves You, but You are nowhere to be found, Hidden and yet . . . completely obvious!
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
Your heart mirrors not His love, Rusty with your sins it is, Remove this rust and you shall Perceive how Glorious He is.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love die in Love if you want to remain alive.
Rumi
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Rumi
