Shut your eyes so the heart may become your eye, and with that vision look upon another world. If you can step away from your need for self-approval, all that you do, top to bottom, will be approved.

Additional quotes by Rumi

Your 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.
