| Listen, Open a window to Love
 and begin to delight yourself
 by gazing upon Him through the opening.
 
 The business of love is
 to make that window in the heart,
 for the breast is illumined
 by the beauty of the Beloved.
 
 Gaze incessantly
 on the face of the Beloved!
 
 Listen,
 this is in your power,
 my friend.
 
 ~ Rumi
