First in a three talk series exploring the Rumi quote: '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.'

Final talk in the series. Personal and in process, Dharmashalin evokes his own experience of closing down as a protection and the price we pay for doing so. No clear answers, but an invitation to explore this crucial topic.
