Famous Jalal ud-Din Rumi Quotations

Mawlene Jalel ad-Den Mu-ammad Balkhe, also known as Jalel ad-Den Mu-ammad Reme, but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi, (30 September 1207 - 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. Reme is a descriptive name meaning "the Roman" since he lived most of his life in an area called Rem because it was once ruled by the Byzantine Empire

"I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere. I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either. I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding. I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him He was nowhere else to be found."
