Thought of the day!! She Is a Ray of The Beauty of God

Mathnawi I: 2429-37

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2429 Water overpowers fire by (its) terror, (yet) it boils when it is
inside a partition.

2430 (For) when a pot becomes the screen between (these) two,1 it
makes the water vanish (and) turns it (into) air.

If you dominate women outwardly, like water (over fire), you are
dominated inwardly and you are seeking [and boiling in desire for]
women.

This is such a special quality in mankind, (since) love is lacking
in animals,2 which is due to (their) deficiency.

The Prophet said,3 "Women become very dominant over wise and
pious (men),

"Yet ignorant (men) become dominant over women"-- because
they go (about) in a rash and very hot-tempered (manner).4

2435 They are lacking tenderness, kindness, and love because
animality dominates over (their) nature.

Love and tenderness are qualities of humanity, (while) anger and
lust are qualities of animality.

2437 She is a ray of [the Beauty of] God;5 she is not a beloved.
She is a creator; you may say that she is not created.6
