Excerpt
THE prophet, resplendent in his perfection, Is as the sun's bright light, And the saint, concealing his saintship, Is as the subdued light of the moon. By fellowship, the saint Is intimate with the prophet, And finding entrance to that secret chamber, He loves and is beloved by the Truth.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Shabistari, the Prophet is like the sun and the saint like the moon gently reflecting its light; through their companionship, the saint enters into intimacy with the Truth, a name of God among the Sufis, whom he loves and by whom he is loved. Today, seek the company of someone who makes you better, or reread the words of a sage you love, and let their light be reflected in you.
