A Marvelous Game of Backgammon

"Even if all the forests should become pens, and all the oceans ink, there is no hope of bringing the Mathnawi to an end...
The time has come for that righteous Beloved, and dear friend of God, to pull my ear and lead me.
God, in His mercy, has played a marvelous game of backgammon: God has made the essence of ingratitude to be a turning in repentance towards Him.
Even from the ill-fated unrighteousness of the people of the world, that Bounteous One has caused two hundred fountains of Love to flow.
He gives to the rose-bud a source of growth in the thorn.
God brings forth day from the darkness of night, and makes ease and plenty to form in the hand of the one who suffers from hardship and poverty.
The mountains become an accompanist to David.
The solitary mountain amidst the cloud of darkness opens to the music of the harp and the tones of treble and bass."

Rumi (Vol.6, 2253-2286)

Commentary: With God, all things are possible. Even for you. Even for me.
