Rumi ... Mathnawi I (3605-3607)



Whatever it is you wish to marry
Go, absorb yourself in that beloved
Assume its shape and qualities
If you wish for the light, prepare yourself to receive it 
If you wish to be far from God, nourish your egoism and drive yourself away
If you wish to find a way out of this ruined prison
Don't turn your head away from the Beloved
But bow in worship and draw near
