The body's a mirror of heaven: Its energies make angels jealous. Our purity astounds seraphim. Devils shiver at our nerve.
RumiA lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
RumiYou left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
RumiBeing desirable means being comfortable with your own ambiguity. The most ambiguous reality is that we are flesh and spirit at the same time. Within everyone there is light and shadow, good and evil, love and hate. In order to be truthful, you must embrace your total being. A person who exhibits both positive and negative qualities, strengths and weaknesses is not flawed, but complete.
Rumi
