Voice of the Day: Jalaluddin Rumi

"You have spent your seeing, hearing, intelligence / and the pure celestial substances; / what have you purchased from the earth? / 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?"
