Rumi, an eye is meant to.., quote

“An eye is meant to see things.
The soul is here for its own joy.
A head has one use: For loving a true love.
Feet: To chase after.
Love is for vanishing into the sky. 
The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do.
Mysteries are not to be solved: 
The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.
A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, 
whatever was lost in the looking 
comes back completely changed.” 

(from: Night and Sleep, Rumi)
