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.
RumiMy heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
RumiWhen you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
RumiWhen you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
