The Garden Of Rumi

If you are wise 
like the Friend of God
the fire is water to you
especially this fire of Love
which is the soul of all waters....
and you are a moth.
But the ignorant moth 
behaves differently than we do:
it sees the light 
and ends up in the fire
The heart of the mystic 
sees fire and goes into the Ligt
A fire has been made 
to look like water
while within the apparent fire
is a real fountain

(Rumi)
