I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?

More quotes by Rumi
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Rumi
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.
Rumi
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
Rumi
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.
Rumi
If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.
Rumi
Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
The Soul is a stranger trying to find a Home somewhere that is not a where.
Rumi
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
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
