Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Come to the orchard in Spring. There is light and wine, and sweetheart sin the pomegranate flowers. If you do not come, these do not matter. If you do come, these do not matter.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Dear soul, don't set a high value on someone before they deserve it; You either lose them or ruin yourself...!

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Desire desire you more than food and drink My body my senses my Mindhunter for your taste can sense your presence in my heart although you belong to all the world wait with silent passion for one gesture one glance from you

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Did I Not Say To You Did I not say to you, “Go not there, for I am your friend; in this mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?” Even though in anger you depart a hundred thousand years from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal. Did I not say to you, “Be not content with worldly forms, for I am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?” Did I not say to you, “I am the sea, and you are a single fish; go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?” Did I not say to you,“ Go not like birds to the snare; come, for I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?” Did I not say to you,“ They will waylay you and make you cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?” Did I not say to you,“ They will implant in you ugly qualities so that you will forget that I am the source of purity to you?” Did I not say to you, “Do not say from what direction the servant’s affairs come into order?” I am the Creator without directions. If you are the lamp of the heart, know where the road is to the house; and if you are godlike of attribute, know that I am your Maser.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Die! Die! Die in this love! If you die in this love, Your soul will be renewed. Die! Die! Don’t fear the death of that which is known If you die to the temporal, You will become timeless.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Don't make the body do what the spirit does best, and don't put a big load on the spirit that the body could easily carry.

— Jalaluddin Rumi
