Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript oÆ’ a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself;everything that you want, you are already that.

Jalaluddin Rumi
About This Quote

The words of the poet Rumi speak directly to those who have been struggling throughout their lives. They remind us that we are a divine letter written by a higher power. We are a mirror that reflects a noble face. We are the universe, and we have it all inside of us already.

Rumi teaches us that we can change our lives by going deeper inside of ourselves and looking at the truth of who we are. We can make the changes we desire, and do so without ever leaving our true selves.
