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.

More quotes by Rumi
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Rumi
A divine dance appears in the soul and the body at the time of peace and union.Anyone can learn the dance, just listen to the music.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
I am an ark in the swift flood of time, and my companions, a fellowship. Who throws in with us sails into light.
Rumi
I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived, and it's always in motion.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious
Rumi
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
Rumi
Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.
Rumi
