Jalaluddin Rumi Quotes

An Intelligent Man, Or Woman, Is A Lamp That Guides Itself. Let

him Or Her Lead. Trust The Knowing They Browse. A Half-intelligent Person Is One Who Lets

the Intelligent Person Be Guide. He Holds On Like The Blind To The Coat Of A Helper. Through

another, He Acts And Sees And Learns. There Is A Third Kind With No Intellect At All, Who

takes No Advice, Strolls Out Into The Wilderness, Runs A Little To One Side, Stops, Limps

through The Night With No Candle, No Stub Of A Candle, No Notion What To Ask For.

The First Has Perfect Intellect. The Second Knows Enough To Surrender To The First. One

breathes With Jesus. The Other Dies, So Jesus Can Breathe Through Him. The Third

flops And Flounders In All Directions, With No Direction, Lurches And Leaps, Trying

everything, With No Way Or Way Out.
