Love is a mirror. In it you see nothing except your reflection. You see nothing except your real face.
RumiDon't make the body do what the spirit does best, and don't put a big load on the spirit that the body could easily carry.
RumiYou have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
