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. Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks. 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.
RumiMake peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.
RumiYou think you are alive because you breathe air? Shame on you, that you are alive in such a limited way. Don't be without Love, so you won't feel dead. Die in Love and stay alive forever.
RumiThe leaf of every tree brings a message from the unseen world. Look, every falling leaf is a blessing.
Rumi
