About this listen
The Essential Rumi Quotes, offers the reader a collection of the most powerful, passionate, endearing, and inspiring quotes of Rumi, selected from our decades-long love affair with Rumi’s work. These beautiful quotes have been categorized in four sections: 1. The Power of Love; 2. Beauty, Music & Dance; 3. Hope, Recovery & Death; 4. The Ascended Master, The Teachings.
THE POWER OF LOVE
The first selection is his wildly popular passionate love quotes. Rumi views love as the real vehicle for growth. However, he teaches that the experience and manifestation of love begins and ends with you. As Rumi points out in many of his poems (where these quotes have been selected), toward the end of his search he learned that he was seeking himself all along and the Beloved is none other than himself. He wrote that he was knocking on the door of ascension from the inside and the true Beloved is your higher self.
BEAUTY, MUSIC & DANCE
Through his mentorship with the mystic Shams, Rumi was transformed from that of a sober scholar to an impassioned lover of music and whirling. After his transformation, all night parties with music, movement, whirling and poetry recitations became the norm.
HOPE, RECOVERY & DEATH
One of the key reasons that Rumi’s work resonates with us, is due to his unrestrained and uncensored expressions of various aspects of personal and spiritual growth. His quotes on healing, hope and death have helped countless people to cope with suffering and recovery.
THE ASCENDED MASTER – The Teachings
This section reveals Rumi’s quotes as an ascended master attacking all forms of mind and spirit oppression. Rumi reminds us over and over again that real spiritual mastery is not achieved through dogmatic thinking or conventional religions and isms. What you wear, eat or drink or your facial hair have no relevancy to growth. Only a high conformist would fantasize that wearing a certain style of dress might cause soul growth. Also, his many so-called blasphemous poems represent an evolved soul that is totally free from the shackles of hypocrisy and control that exist in all religious doctrines.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
