Quote preview background for Jalaluddin Rumi
Did I Not Say To YouDid I not say to you, __o not there, for I am your friend; in this mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?_ Even though in anger you depart a hundred thousand years from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal. Did I not say to you, __e not content with worldly forms, for I am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?_ Did I not say to you, __ am the sea and you are a single fish; go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?_ Did I not say to you, _ Go not like birds to the snare; come, for I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?_ Did I not say to you, _ They will waylay you and make you cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?_ Did I not say to you, _ They will implant in you ugly qualities so that you will forget that I am the source of purity to you?_ Did I not say to you, __o not say from what direction the ser- vant__ affairs come into order?_ I am the Creator without directions. If you are the lamp of the heart, know where the road is to the house; and if you are godlike of attribute, know that I am your Maser.
