Masnavi III, 2302-05
Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune:
every success depends upon focusing the heart.
Unconcerned with the business of the world,
keep saying with all your soul, "Coo, Coo," like the dove.
Consider this well, O you whom worldiness veils:
God has linked our invocation to the promise, "I will answer."
When weakness is cleared from your heart,
your prayer will reach the glorious Lord.
