My friend, you thought you lost Him; that all your life you've been separated from Him. Filled with wonder, you've always looked outside for Him, and haven't searched within your own house.
RumiDo you know what you are? You are a manuscript oĆ a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.
RumiIf you follow the ways in which you were trained, which you may have inherited, for no other reason than this, you are illogical.
RumiThe gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
