The scent of saffron brings laughter;
the smell of onions bring tears.
Most have a hundred objects of desire in their hearts,
but this isn’t the path of love….
This advertisement by Love made the spirit crazy
To find that both the Opener and that which is opened by Her
…..How should the spirit find God?
One who finds God becomes lost in Her:
Like a restless river he merges into the ocean.
Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi • Mesnevi VI:4042-4051
