For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.

More quotes by Rumi
Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.
Rumi
Whatever posessions and objects of its desires the lower self may obtain, it hangs on to them, refusing to let them go out of greed for more, or out of fear of poverty and need.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his hear.
Rumi
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
When water is still like a mirror it can behold the Moon.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
Take sips of this pure wine being poured. Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
Rumi
Life is balance of holding on and letting go.
Rumi
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Rumi
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
Rumi
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
Rumi
Mount the stallion of love and do not fear the path, love’s stallion knows the way exactly. With one leap, Love’s horse will carry you home.
Rumi
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Rumi
The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire.
Rumi
Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody.
Rumi
