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
The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
Rumi
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Rumi
Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.
Rumi
This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
Love cannot be learned or taught. Love comes as Grace.
Rumi
I opened my arms to Love and Love embraced me like a Lover
Rumi
Come to the Root of the Root of your Self
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.
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
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
Love is the water of life, jump into this water.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
In the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love.
Rumi
