My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
RumiPull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast! For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.
RumiDo not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.
RumiAll 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.
Rumi
