"An invisible bird flies over, but casts a quick shadow. What is the body? The shadow of a shadow of your Beloved, that somehow contains the entire universe."
"The heavens cannot contain Me, or the void,
Or winged exalted intelligences, or souls;
Yet I am contained, as a guest, in the heart of the true believer.
And without any qualification, definition, or description,From this blazing mirror, every second spring
Fifty wedding feasts for the spirit."
Jelaluddin Rumi
