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.

More quotes by Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth.
Rumi
I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
Rumi
There is my body, in it an ocean formed of his glory, all the creation, all the universes, all the galaxies, are lost in it.
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
I see my beauty in you.
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
Find the sweetness in your own heart, then you may find the sweetness in every heart.
Rumi
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
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
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.
Rumi
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Rumi
There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
Love cannot be learned or taught. Love comes as Grace.
Rumi
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
I am a child whose teacher is LOVE surely my master won't let me grow to be a fool.
Rumi
