And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.
RumiYou are not your body; you are the eye. When you see the spirit, you are free of the body. A human being is an eye โ the rest is just flesh and bones. Whatever your eye sees, you are that.
RumiI am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.
Rumi
