"God communicates to the eye that which He wills of beauty and of perfection, and of amorous looks.
And He communicates to the ear that which He wills of music and glad tidings and cries of rapture.
The world is full of remedies, but you have no remedy till God opens a window for you.
Though you are unaware of the remedy just now, God will make it plain in your hour of need.
The Prophet said that the glorious God has created a remedy for every pain.
But you will not see that remedy for your pain, or even catch its color or scent, without His command...
Put into our heart subtle words which may move Thee to mercy, O Gracious One!
From Thee comes both the prayer and the answer."
Rumi (Vol. 2 680-685, 691-2)
Commentary: Most of us are waiting for that remedy...our task is simply to keep trying to turn in the direction of the One who gives us our prayers, our strength, and our hope.
