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.
More Quotes from Jalal Rumi:
Liberated from suffering and searchI have tied myself to the skirt of God.If I fly, I look at the summits I ascend.If I go around in circleI observe the axis on which I revolve.If I am dragged by a burden,I know where I go.For I am the moon, and the sun is my guide.Jalal Rumi
