Rumi Quote...

You imagined that you would accomplish this task through
your own strength, activity, and effort.

This is the wont
that I have established: expend everything you have in
Our way.

Then Our bounty will come to you.

On this end-
less road, We command you to travel with your own feeble
hands and feet.

We know that you cannot traverse this
way with feet so feeble.

Indeed, in a hundred thousand
years you will not arrive at the first way station.

However,
when you travel this road until your legs are exhausted and
you fall down flat, until you have no more strength to move
forward, then God's grace will take you in its arms.
