Behind the Form...

"Know that the form of the roof and the walls of every dwelling is a reflection of the thought of the architect.
Assuredly, the Absolute Agent is formless: form is a tool in God's hand.
Sometimes the Formless One graciously shows His face, from the concealment beyond existence,
In order that every form may thereby be replenished with some perfection, and beauty and power.
Why then , O confused one, are you submitting your need to another needy creature?
Seek God in humility and in selflessness, for nothing but forms is produced by thinking.
Suppose it is the form of the city to which you are going: you are drawn there by a formless feeling of pleasure, O dependent one;
Therefore you are really going to that which has no locality, for pleasure is different from place and time.
Suppose it is to the form of a friend to whom you would go: you are going for the sake of enjoying her society:
Therefore, in reality you go to the formless world, though you are unaware of that being the object of your journey.
In truth, then, God is worshiped by all, since all wayfaring is for the sake of joy, of which God is the source,"

Rumi (Vol.6, 3740-3755)

Commentary: God is defined by Rumi as the source of perfection, and beauty and power and joy. We see evidence of the Formless One more than we think.
