Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

What you seek is seeking you.

You are not meant for crawling, you have wings. Learn to use them!

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands seeks for something will find.

Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious

Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.

Set your life on file. Seeks those who fan your flame.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Dance until you shatter yourself.

You are not just a drop in ocean. You are the might ocean in the drop.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.

Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more — more unseen forms become manifest to him.

Little by little, wean yourself. This is the gist of what I have to say. From an embryo, whose nourishment comes in the blood, move to an infant drinking milk, to a child on solid food, to a searcher after wisdom, to a hunter of more invisible game.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
