Inspirational Quotations by Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi
- I want to sing like the birds sing
not worrying about who hears or what they think.
- 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.
- Knowledge is light; avarice ice.
Knowledge is water; this world dirt.
A trickle of wisdom appears from beyond
to check the vices of this world.
Should the trickle become abundant,
none would endure, be it virtue or vice.
- Seek self-discipline with all your soul.
Devote yourself to worship and save your soul.
Be grateful that God gave you the gift of self-discipline,
for you had no power over it.
He inspired it within you with the command, "Be!"
