- Excerpt starting on line 6 of page 366 of "The Soul of Rumi" translated by Coleman Barks
"...
The whole world is a form
for truth. When someone does not feel grateful to that,
the forms appear to be as he feels.
They mirror his anger, his greed, his fear. Make peace
with the universe. Take joy
in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every
moment a new beauty.
And never any boredom. Instead the pouring of many
springs in your ears.
..."
