You would be fortunate to find yourself God’s prey,
to get free of your own traps and fall into God’s.
- #Rumi, ‘ #Mathnawi’ V, 411-414
The Fool as the first fish on land
TO HIM IS OUR RETURN
By #Rumi, ‘ #Mathnawi’ III: 3901-3906
I died a mineral and became a plant,
I died as vegetable and rose to animal,
I died to animality and was human,
Why should I fear?
When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die human,
To soar with angels blessed above.
This story from Rumi’s Mathnawi highlights the distinction between external appearances and internal fulfillment.
