Rumi ... Mathnawi ...


Love of the dead does not last 
Because the dead will not return ...

But love of the living
Is in every moment fresher than a bud ...

Both to the inward and the outward eye
Choose the love of that Living One 

Who is everlasting ...
Who offers you the wine that increases life ...

Do not say: We have no entrance to that King

Dealings with the generous are not difficult ...
