You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
RumiIf reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
RumiYour name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?
RumiOn the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
