How long will you say, "I will conquer the whole world
and fill it with myself"?
Even if snow covered the world completely,
the sun could melt it with a glance.
A single spark of God's mercy
can turn poison into springwater.
Where there is doubt,
He establishes certainty.
Mathnawi I, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, may Allah sanctify his soul & bless his secret
Version by C. & K. Helminski, ': Daylight', Threshold Books
