You have no need to travel anywhere - journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
RumiNo one looks back and regrets leaving this world. What's regretted is how real we thought it was.
RumiI am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life. I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen One.
RumiWisdom is like the rain. Its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. Grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. When you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. But he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. Your currency on this Path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. When you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.
RumiYour depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise. Whoever feels himself walking on the path, and refuses to praise--that man or woman steals from others every day--is a shoplifter! The sun became full of light when it got hold of itself. Angels only began shining when they achieved discipline. The sun goes out whenever the cloud of not-praising comes. The moment the foolish angel felt insolent, he heard the door close.
