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
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
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
You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.
Rumi
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
You cannot learn about Love, LOVE appears on the wings of grace.
Rumi
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky
Rumi
I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Rumi
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
There's a path from your HEART to mine.
Rumi
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
Rumi
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
A lifetime without Love is of no account Love is the Water of Life Drink it down with heart and soul!
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
Rumi
Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Rumi
