Don’t look at your form

FRIDAY, JUNE 2


Don’t look at your form

Don’t look at your form, however ugly or beautiful.
Look at love and at the aim of your quest.

O you whose lips are parched, keep looking for water.
Those parched lips are proof that eventually you will
reach the source.

-- Mathnawvi, III: 1438/1440
