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.
Rumi said…
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Rumi said…
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Rumi said …

Author: James Allen, Edited by Ruth L. Miller
Quote: Of all the beautiful truths that have been restored and brought to light in this age, none will promise you more joy and blessedness in mind and spirit than this – that you are the master of your thoughts, the molder of your character, and the maker and shaper of your condition, your environment, and your destiny.

Book Quote August
Book Name: The Cost of Living
Author: Arundhati Roy
Quote: To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest of places. To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away.
And never, never to forget.
