For God's Sake!

"People hazard their lives in the line of battle and in fighting for the Creator's sake,
One is like Job in tribulation, another like Jacob in patience.
Hundreds of thousands of people, thirsty and sorrowful, are doing some sore trial for God's sake in desire of pleasing Him.
I too, for the merciful Lord's sake, and in hope of Him, am drumming the call at the gate.
If you want a customer from whom you will get gold, how should there be a better customer than God, O my heart?
God buys a dirty bag from your stock of goods, and gives you in return an inner light that borrows its splendor from Himself.
God receives the dissolving ice of this mortal body, and gives a kingdom beyond our imagination.
God receives a few tear drops, and gives a river in Paradise that sugar shows jealousy for, because of its sweetness.
God receives sighs full of melancholy and vaporous gloom, and gives for every sigh a hundred gainful dignities.
Pay attention, sell your old rags in this brisk incomparable market, and receive the real and genuine sterling kingdom in exchange."

Rumi (Vol.6, 875-885)
