Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
RumiWhen your love contracts in anger, the atmosphere itself feels threatening. But when youโre expansive, no matter what the weather, youโre in an open, windy field with friends.
RumiYour body is woven from the light of heaven. Are you aware that its purity and swiftness is the envy of angels and its courage keeps even devils away.
RumiLove Is the Treasure The temple of love is not love itself; True love is the treasure, Not the walls about it. Do not admire the decoration, But involve yourself in the essence, The perfume that invades and touches you- The beginning and the end. Discovered, this replaces all else, The apparent and the unknowable. Time and space are slaves to this presence.
Rumi
