Beholder




If in thirst you drink water from a cup,
you see God in it.
Those who are not in love with God
will see only their own faces in it.

    as long as I have life. I am the
    dust on the path of Muhammad,
    the Chosen one. If anyone
    quotes anything except this
    from my sayings, I am quit of
    him and outraged by these
    words." -- Rumi

  3. You're welcome, Sophie
    As for the quote, I found
    it in one of the Youtube
    pages. I can't guarantee
    its authenticity though.

  5. Thanks for the great link, Sophie
    The page indeed exposed some
    Orientalists' sinister agenda in
    diminishing Rumi's Islamic
    spirituality and yet trying very
    hard to portray him as an
    unorthodox mystic.
