“O perfect, full Moon! The house of the heart is Thine! The intellect–which was once the master–has become thy slave and doorman.
From the day of Alast [“Am I not”] the spirit has been drunk with Thee, though for a time it was distracted by water and clay.
Since the clay has now settled to the bottom, the water is clear–no more do I say, ‘This is mine, that is Thine.’”
Rumi, Divan
