Mevlana quotes

Thanks to this web site, I learnt much more than I know Mevlana quotes. I want to share some of them here.

• 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.
• The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why
• Love is the cure,
  for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
  until your eyes constantly exhale love
  as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
• We Are All the Same
  Listen to the reeds as they sway apart;
  Hear them speak of lost friends.
  At birth, you were cut from your bed,
  Crying and grasping in separation.
  Everyone listens, knowing your song.
  
  You yearn for others who know your name,
  And the words to your lament.
  We are all the same, all the same,
  Longing to find our way back;
  Back to the one, back to the only one.
• Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
