"Love is like a lawsuit; to suffer harsh treatment is like evidence; when you have no evidence, the lawsuit is lost

Do not be aggrieved when the Judge demands your evidence: kiss the snake in order that you may gain the treasure

Sorrow is a treasure and your pain is as the mine, but how should this saying catch hold of children?

... My soul is a furnace, it is happy with the fire; it is enough for the furnace that it is the fire's house"

- Verses on being punished by God, from Mathnawi of Maulana Jalal al Din Rumi.
