He alone...
He alone has the right to break,
for He alone has the power to mend.
He that knows how to sew together
knows how to tear apart.
Whatever He sells, He buys
something better in exchange.
He lays the house in ruins;
then in a moment
He make it more livable than before.
- Mathnawi I, 3882-3886
