Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.

More quotes by Rumi
For me to praise is interrupting praise.
Rumi
I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
Rumi
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Rumi
If thou has not seen the devil, look at thine own self.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
A generous friend gives life for a friend let's rise above this animalistic behavior and be kind to one another
Rumi
The way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
Rumi
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
Rumi
