Voice of the Day: Jalaluddin Rumi

You have spent your seeing, hearing, intelligence
and the pure celestial substances;

I gave you hands and feet as spade and mattock
for tilling the soil of good works;
when did they by themselves become existent?

- Jalaluddin Rumi,
"How Have You Spent Your Life?"
