Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the west can you rise in the east.
RumiEverything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
RumiWhen you resolve to become pious, the devil in your nature cries out at you, "Tread not those paths, O confused one; distress and poverty will overcome you. You will be despised, let down by friends, you will regret it." Dread of the devil has bound their souls; the cries of the devil are the drover of the damned; the call of the Lord is a guardian of the saints.
Rumi
