Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit;
don't give your heart to anything
but the love of those whose hearts are glad.
Don't go the neighborhood of despair:
there is hope.
Don't go in the direction of darkness:
suns exist.
[Mathnawi I, 723-4] — Jelaluddin Rumi, Rumi Daylight by Camille Helminski, translator, Kabir Helminski, translator
