Jalal ad-din rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, also known as Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, Mawlana/Mevlana, Mevlevi/Mawlawi, and more popularly simply as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. 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. When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. The wound is the place where the Light enters you. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. Let the beauty we love be what we do. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
