Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same...
The Source is full, its waters are ever-flowing;
Do not grieve, drink your fill!
Don't think it will ever run dry --
This is the endless Ocean!
Pass again from the heavenly realm and plunge into the ocean of Consciousness.
Let the drop of water that is you become a hundred mighty seas.
But do not think that the drop alone becomes the Ocean—
the Ocean, too, becomes the drop!
-- Jelaluddin Rumi, "A Garden Beyond Paradise"
