Rumi is a real treasure. His perspective on the world for someone who lived in 13th century is fascinating. What's your favourite poems of him?

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was a Persian poet, an Islamic dervish and a Sufi mystic. His discipline and wisdom have crossed all national and ethnic borders ever since the 13th century.

Here are my favourite quotes of him:

 

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.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

What you seek is seeking you.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
