How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Rumi
You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.......... .
Rumi
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror

Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.
Rumi
Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi
There is an original inside me.
Rumi
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.
Rumi
