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.
