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
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.
Rumi
I see my beauty in you.
Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi
Say Bismillah, In the name of God, as the shaykh does with a knife when he offers an animal. Bismillah your old self to find your real name. - Jalaluddin al
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
When the ocean surges, don't let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest!
Rumi
The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow?
Rumi
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
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
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, LOVE is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of time- Side by side, step by step.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Rumi
