Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.
RumiWhen inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
RumiWe are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels; Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
