Rumi Quotes – Wisdom for a Fulfilling Life

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

You have no need to travel anywhere – journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
