We shall teach thee, and thou wilt not forget aught of what thou art taught, save what God may will thee to forget -- for verily, He alone knows all that is open to man's perception as well as all that is hidden from it -- and thus shall We make easy for theethe path towards ultimate ease.Al-A'la 87:7-8, tr. Asad God turns you from one feeling to anotherand teaches by means of opposites,so that you will have two wings to fly,not one.Rumi, Mathnawi II:1552, 1554, tr. Helminski |
