RUMI ...

All hopes, desires, loves, and affections that people have for different things - father, mother, friends, heavens, earth, gardens, palaces, sciences, deeds, food, drink - all these are desires for God, and these things are veils. When people leave this world and see the Eternal King without veils, then they will know that all these were veils and coverings and that the object of their desires was in reality that One Thing. All their difficulties will be solved, all the questions and perplexities that they had in their hearts will be answered, and they will see all things face to face.
