It is He who bestows from on high clear messages unto this His servant, to lead you out of the deep darkness into the light: for, behold, God is most compassionate towards you, a dispenser of grace.Al-Hadid 57:7, tr. Asad When a dispute arises as to the ownership of the husk,the husk belongs to the one who possesses the kernel. The heavenly sphere is the husk;the light of the spirit is the core.This sky is visible; spirit is not;but don't stumble because of this.The body is manifest;Life's spirit is hidden:the body is like a sleeve;the spirit is the hand.Rumi, Mathnawi II;3251-3252, tr. Asad |
