... the absence of fear...
This quote hit a cord in me.
“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

You can not express love, you can only feel it

I believe it means exactly what each one of us believes based on our self esteem

as it is now.....of course its a unconscious belief.....sounds stuffy to some

however thats usually case.....

So I guess this Rumi guy had a lot of time on his hands.. to sit around.. clearly smoke some pot.. and write this stuff


According to the BBC, translations of Rumi have sold more than a 250,000 copies in the United States. The Mevlevi Sufi order was founded in 1273 by Rumi's followers after his death.

So perhaps your guess is wrong..

We need a wise quote that says something along the lines that the greatest impediment to love itself, is spending energy and time worrying and worse, negotiating about what it means, instead of living it.
