object:1.jr - I regard not the outside and the words
author class:Jalaluddin Rumi
subject class:Poetry
class:chapter
English version by E. H. Whinfield Original Language Persian/Farsi & Turkish I regard not the outside and the words, I regard the inside and the state of the heart. I look at the heart if it be humble, Though the words may be the reverse of humble. Because the heart is substance, and words accidents, Accidents are only a means, substance is the final cause. How long will thou dwell on words and superficialities? A burning heart is what I want; consort with burning! Kindle in the heart the flame of love, And burn up utterly thoughts and fine expressions.
