Rumi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad (Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi)

I look not only at tongue and speech;
I look at the spirit and the inward feeling.
I look into the heart to see whether it be lowly...

Light up a fire of love in thy soul,
Burn all thought and expression away!
-- Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi

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.
-- Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi
