Behold, God enjoins justice, and the doing of good,and generosity towards one's fellow-men;and He forbids all that is shamefuland all that runs counter to reason, as well as envy;and He exhorts you repeatedlyso that you might bear all this in mind.An-Nahl 16:90, tr. Muhammad Asad O God, help me against this self of minethat is seeking help from You;I seek justice from no one but fromthis justice-seeking self.I shall not get justice from any one except fromHim who is nearer to me than myself;For this I-ness comes moment by moment from Him.Rumi, Mathnawi I:2195-2198, tr. Helminski |
