Don’t knock on any random door like a beggar. Reach your long hand out to another door, beyond where you go on the street, the street where everyone says, “How are you?” and no one says How aren’t you? – Rumi

Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible. – Rumi

Can you find another market like this? Where, with your one rose, you can buy hundreds of rose gardens? – Rumi

Be empty of worrying…. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks
