[Sunlight] "Companionship with the holy"

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Companionship with the holy makes you one of them.
Though you're rock or marble, you'll become a jewel
when you reach the man of heart.

Nâr-e khandân bâgh-râ khandân konad
sohbat-e mardânat az mardân konad
Gar to sang-e sakhreh va marmar shavi
chon be-sâheb-e del rasi gawhar shavi

-- Mathnawi I: 721-722
