Additional quotes by Rumi

Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.

YOU ARE SUCH
THAT BESIDES THIS (PHYSICAL) BODY
YOU HAVE ANOTHER (ASTRAL) BODY.
DO NOT THEREFORE BE AFRAID
OF GETTING OUT
OF THE MORTAL FRAME.

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.

Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak. - Rumi
