You 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.
RumiLove is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
RumiThe spiritual path wrecks the body And afterwards restores it to health. It destroys the house to unearth the treasure, And with that treasure builds it better than before.
Rumi
