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
No One in the Entire World is as Precious as You are.
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
Rumi
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
Come into my eyes, and look at me through them, for I have chosen a home far beyond what eyes can see.
Rumi
Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets The moon sets But they are not gone.
Rumi
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Rumi
Your breath touched my soul and I saw beyond all limits.
Rumi
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
Rumi
Love calls - everywhere and always. We're sky bound. Are you coming?
Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
