And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.
RumiIf you want to ascend like the Prophet to the sky of immortality, know this very well: Fasting is your Arabian stallion.
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
